It’s been a year and a half since I started this newsletter. When I look at it as a whole, I see that it has become a record of progress in my writing, as well as of stagnation and missteps. The record shows improvement, but, crucially, that improvement is only possible through the repetition required to create that very record. It’s the same as, for example, playing soccer. Each time I make a sharp turn, something I’m not naturally good at, I can’t quite tell whether it was better than the last. I know for sure, though, that I’m better at turning now than I was two months ago. All I can do is repeat the move over time and trust that the record will show improvement.
