alright, one more rep, one more 1,000 word essay, and then i'll let myself draw some solarpunk art

i promised myself i'd write for most of the afternoon/evening to prepare for my salon, and then i'd let myself draw, as a treat

i don't usually write to prepare for things that involve speaking. read a book by Dale Carnegie on public speaking a few years ago that emphasized preparing by speaking informally rather than writing (especially not writing your talk out word for word)

but in this case, i want to use this salon to reflect on experiences and articulate some deeper principles i haven't seen consciously quite yet. distill some memories into talking points that i can internalize even more deeply, and share with others

and i'm pretty sure i'll want to turn those principles into a blog post at some point, so writing some intermediate packets feels appropriate. i can reuse the most powerful chunks later on

the interintellect salon to blog post pipeline

anyways this also checks some other boxes, since i'm trying to do 100 1,000 word essays (which i've loved doing so far) and i've already birthed two today. on to the third, which will be about these talking points on collaboration i've been dancing around

that's actually one of the talking points i can feel, i follow, i understand deeply, but i haven't yet articulated to my satisfaction: do things that check as many (good) boxes as possible

this was pretty close, but it's along a slightly different axis, or makes a slightly different point:

ok it's coming together, 489 words and it is taking shape into something strong and in the right direction

wow, it came out even better than i expected. i think this distills most of the principles i've internalized about collaborations over the recent years

i think i'm gonna summarize this and re-thread it just for my own benefit
