This is like graduate level knowledge imparted. Thank you.

It will help novices ( not sure what the scope of your newsletter is, from the two newsletter) but feel free to explore and branch.

It's fascinating and deeply appreciated. It's bot important to have a regular schedule. In my own experience ( academic research- medical) quality and proper distilled context comes directly proportional spent on a topic.

If it's something I care and am intrigued, better my research was.

The more grant, institutional, supervisor or peer pressure- the shallower and contextually confusing I was.

Please keep doing it. At your pace.

Kudos

Thank you so much. I'm keeping up, but like you said the regular schedule is important, and it's important to stick to it.

Regular schedule, for me and speaking for my own biased perceptions, it's less important than the quality. It's more of acquired expectancy cultivated by, mostly, historically academic and now monetization platforms.

Substack, Medium and all other publishing platforms push this. Like music labels.

We are not so good now at embracing patience . ( I hardly and actively am trying, because I noticed the quality of the reward, for me, is worth it.

So , for me, regular scheduled publishing is a non-factor. Article quality is.

That's my own view. I do appreciate people that are good at planning , scheduling and executing like that, no doubt about it.

Because of my entropic tendencies, I am though not expecting it.

I take it as a bonus, when and if it happens.

Quality trumps scheduled quantity.

Scheduled quality is an awesome perk.

Thanks again for the comments. I agree to a point, but some things benefit from regularity, like learning something new (learning piano, for example, which I am also doing). I think learning a song a week falls into that category, as I can always perfect it in time, but getting the basics down by practicing every day is important.

I also misread your original comment, because of the typo, so didn't read it as "not important". :-)
