the shape of completion
I'm working on consolidating all of my work on this new Ghost site, and I'm thinking about what it would mean to feel complete. The blog or newsletter form often has a sense of incompletion – there's always a "next one" that you can't quite get ahead of. While I learned a lot from Robin Sloan's post about a newsletter having seasons, the form of online writing often precludes the idea that we can feel done. That elated feeling I had when I held my second book and it was done and perfect, except I wished I'd made the margin a tad larger – but too late!
How can I replicate this feeling of "not quite perfect, but still thrillingly good enough" in an online space where the edit button is just a click away?
