The first thing I posted during Good Heart week was from a conversation I had with someone a couple weeks ago. While saying it, I had the fleeting thought that it could make a good LW post, but I didn’t even write that thought down. GH week caused me to remember that and actually write the post. The second thing came from me deliberately deciding to write another post for GH week, so I looked up a list I keep of possible LW post ideas, and pulled my favorite one from there.
In contrast, I’ve been working on what I hope will become a major post or a sequence for a few weeks, and I didn’t even try to push any of it out during Good Heart, because getting it right is too important to me.
To give you a related anecdatapoint;
