This is semi off-topic, but I normally write books, which I work pretty hard to edit down into the shortest versions of themselves.

As a weird side-effect of that, I noticed myself starting to hold all of my writing to that same standard, which was stopping me from putting out anything more off-the-cuff.

So part of my motivation with this site (which is only about a week old) was to frame it in a way, at least for myself, where I felt comfortable sharing the stuff-in-progress without worrying too much that it wasn't a finished book.

Which I guess is a long way to say that the rambliness is an intentional decision, since otherwise it wouldn't be doing the job (for me) that it was designed for. I already spend 20+ hours a week doing fairly utilitarian writing for my books, so this little site needs to be something different if I hope to stick with it. And in an ideal world, maybe a few other people will happen to enjoy some bits and pieces along the way :)
