Writing as Psychotechnology

> This month I’ve been doing Inkhaven — a writing workshop in Berkley, California where you must publish a 500+ word blog post every day or they kick you out

So the name of the game is quantity over quality?

I'm not familiar with that particular workshop, but it's a writing workshop, and it's 500 words. Now, if they'd said 1,000, you'd have a point, but it's only 500. This comment has 39 and it took me only minutes.

Quantity has a quality of its own. I am proud of 80%+ of the posts I produced — and I wouldn't produce them otherwise.
