wow, lotta stuf /// nice work dude /// keep going, keep trimming, getting the authentic tighter and graspable by attention deficit audience...or otherwise just keep makin' the reels and feeling the feels...liking it...
Thanks for the feedback and encouragement Anatta-Antman-anatman! It gave me cause for editing some of the rough edges of the post and clarifying some stuff along the way.
I keep puzzling at a feasible, sustainable, day-to-day logic for content creation in the everywhere-all-at-once overwhelm of the media space. Here's what I got thus far: I'm noticing an interesting kind of gravity toward a more sutra-like writing style where certain themes, through their insistence and repetition, start to condense and recur as something like core tenants of the project. Such recurring condensations, which are worth repeating, seem to be the short-form solutions of the longer-form projects that struggle in a media environment of immediacy. I think another pressure toward this sutra style is the desire to have/compile 'workable coordinates' whose function serves life practice/play and dialog. That is to say, I seem to be valuing the writing through a prior evaluation of the relational and practical spaces it can open up.
This all seems to be moving my thinking and writing itself to this more sutra-like threading and/or hyperlinking. This hyperlinked-threading is of course an explicit feature and power in the media-network space. It is probably good to try and dance with it (understanding the risk it poses to longer form projects).
The potential of upskilling in this hyperlinking-sutra form softens the anxiety of incompleteness that I feel when writing something. I have just realised, by being inspired to edit thanks to your comment, that posts are not themselves set in stone and so can be returned to and refined. Another factor pointing to the worthwhileness of the hyperlink-sutra form.
I'm arriving at the fantasy of this form out of a kind of necessity owing to the overwhelm and tension of the everywhere-all-at-once immediacy of the media-network space. Until now, my writing that has been intended for this space has remained incomplete/unpublished due to its tendency to quite quickly expand/explode into a reference to an entire body of work that a single post cannot do justice to.

So, and so on, we go, I guess.
