Going through my Pensieve
I've decided to try and approach being stuck at home as I might a holiday (of indefinite duration and limited resources :/) and so am slowly going through all the things I've been putting off for ages. It gives me a nice sense of accomplishment.
Anyway, I just went through my draft posts folder. To begin with I had 84 drafts going back to 2007, now sorted into:
Next up: going through each subfolder and seeing if I can combine the various drafts into one or more posts (or additions to the "just crap" folder). Many of these are just variations on the same ideas, there were a HEAP about artistic responsibility going back to some of my earliest drafts but I think I've finally articulated my position on that so they all went into "posted".
Does anyone else do this? And yes, it is scary to think that the huge barrage of rambly crap that makes it onto my journals has already passed through a winnowing and editing process :D (Though most of my posts are written off the cuff. Like this one!)
Anyway, I just went through my draft posts folder. To begin with I had 84 drafts going back to 2007, now sorted into:
- 34 I had already posted (including a few drafts of comments)
- One I posted right away (since it was a teeny post that probably won't get much of a reply)
- Two I will post in a little bit when I'm sure none of my posts from the last few days are going to explode in a hurry
- 2 about ethics
- 3 about gender
- 2 long rambles about my personal history that grew out of other ideas (probably won't post these :))
- 15 about race
- 4 about religion
- 9 misc (polls, a discussion of allergies, other random stuff)
- 8 I decided were crap
