I have this story in my head, that the longer I go without writing a note here, the better that note has to be when I do eventually come back and post again.

I was looking on the internet to see if this is a common thought pattern - that if something is infrequent, it must be excellent.

I couldn’t find anything like that on the psych blogs, so I have to assume that I’ve taken the phrases “quality over quantity” or “quantity over quality” and turned that in to believing “quantity” and “quality” must be mutually exclusive.

You can post infrequently, and have each of those posts be an absolute banger, or you can regularly put out stuff that’s okay.

You can’t post average shit every now and then.¹

1. You can, of course. And so can I, as long as I ignore the voice in my head telling me I can’t. ↩
