OUTSIZED BARRIERS

I have already encountered a sizeable barrier to posting my art. I constrained myself too much on titles and the required effort caused me to not add content. I also tried to develop a posting schedule to A) get through my scanned image backlog, and B) schedule posts for the future. It proved to be unreasonable to simultaneously push for a post one day per week and to limit myself to only one published post on those days.

My new plan allows me to name posts whatever feels right, I can post multiple times in one day, and I am also allowing myself to post as frequently as I want. This way, if I have a spare moment, I can just post. And if I don’t, the content can just stew a while.

This also fits well in my local scanned image posting backlog. Files are scanned using a camera, and so they inherit the camera’s naming convention. There they will sit, until I decide to post one - and not necessarily chronologically. A chosen image gets renamed to “today’s” date, suffixed by a single letter a-z. I doubt I would post more than 26 images in a single day and, in fact, I hereby impose that limit. Thus, my local storage contains raw scanned files and the renamed files, which retain their posted order for future reference.
