Hi HN! I'm the author of this piece. I wrote it after struggling with my own writing habits for years and realizing that chasing metrics and external validation was killing my creativity.
I'm sharing this in case others (especially those with technical backgrounds) find themselves in similar patterns with creative pursuits. Happy to discuss writing habits, the intersection of technical and creative thinking, or anything else this brings up for you!
