How do you rate your own writing? What percentage of your posts make the extremely high quality content mark that you attribute to PG and Sivers? If your aim is to improve as a writer, then over time shouldn't your output reduce to only keep the good stuff and filter out the not-so-good stuff? |

You can do it objectively or subjectively. Objectively you'd use some metrics or measurements. I do a little of that, but mostly it's a subjective "feel" thing.

I thought about this for a while, and I'm not sure how to answer it... I don't really benchmark myself against Graham or Sivers.
Yeah, I'm not really sure how to answer this. In a good month, I'll write between 1 and 6 pieces where everything comes together at the height of my current ability... but I'm still developing my skill, so even a couple months later I'll see a number of improvements I could make to a pretty good post.

Easier said than done! I'm not good at predicting what'll be popular yet. For instance, I wrote an analysis of why Walmart failed in Korea that I thought was particularly interesting, but it didn't take off. Then there's been some offhand casual posts I've made that do take off. Go figure, eh?
