The Thing

Fred Wilson on writing everyday, The Blank Screen, emphasis mine:

Sometimes this process produces great insights for me and possibly others. Sometimes it produces garbage. But I’ve come to realize that the daily post, and its quality or lack thereof, is not really the thing. It is the ritual, the practice, the frequency, the habit, and the discipline that matters most to me. And, I would suspect, the same is true of the readers and commenters who frequent this blog.

I’ve been impressed with the discipline that Fred Wilson has in writing every day. It certainly isn’t an easy thing, but the level of ease isn’t usually the best way to measure the resulting value.
