Ideas

I just came across an excellent article. While not dealing with writing pretty much at all, there are several rather good concepts embedded in there that are generally applicable, and it's just a good read over all.

"If new ideas arise like doodles, this would explain why you have to work at something for a while before you have any. It's not just that you can't judge ideas till you're an expert in a field. You won't even generate ideas, because you won't have any habits of mind to invoke."

Ideas.

Hope you enjoy.

this caught my eye, in that article:

"
This is one reason Y Combinator has a rule against investing in startups with only one founder. Practically every successful company has at least two. And because startup founders work under great pressure, it's critical they be friends.
"

This is true for this blog, as well as for the startup a buddy of mine and I, er, started up.

Hmmmmmm
