Questions For An Editor

Where Should That Comma Go?

I love writing. I've done a bunch of work on my website to reduce the friction it takes to write a post. That's pluming, though. Putting the words down isn't something technology can improve^{tktkt don't dig chatgpt}.

I still get tripped up by some of the mechanics of sentence structre. That's a friction I have to fight through.

I've realized I hit the same speed bumps over and over. The idea of this post is to collect a bunch of them so I can send it off to an editor and get examples of approaches I can use that will give me more confidence with my writing.

The Cluster Of Unconfidence

These are the ones I'd like to get an editors set of eyes on:

I can be prolific. Especially when I'm not depressed. Mostly, I write. I'm starting to get my camera out more too. Figuring out where to post everything has turned into a calculus problem.
There's a few newsletter submission forms too. I rarely submit to them, though.
At the highest level, long form posts and notes from my Grimoire go to the blog. Microblogging style content goes to Mastodon and Bluesky.
How active am I in the discord? If I don't spend a lot of time in one I don't post as many links. I don't want to constantly drive-by without otherwise participating in the community.
Because they're so specific, it's rare I link them anywhere else.
If I can't easily edit the Mastodon post down to fit the Bluesky limit I skip posting it there.
Basically, a quick way to figure stuff out that's mostly right most of the time.
I wouldn't necessarily call it Imposter Syndrome, but there's definitely a little voice in the back of my head that tries to prevent me from posting by asking questions like, "is this good enough", "is it even right", "will anyone even care?"
Anecdotal evidence suggests most folks don't know about RSS. Those that do and who are into generally really into it.
Looking at the repo, it seems I haven't touched it in 2 years. That makes sense. Given I was doing all the work on the format inside the site generator project. (via: [issue: could not generate tlink])

Notes

For reference, a lot of these come from How I Decide Where To Post.

Hire an editor to review all these and provide feedback and examples for how to approach them.
