Summary
Doctorow explains his method of blogging and how his posts sometimes "nucleate" and start to point in directions towards what eventually become longer texts.
My Thoughts
For the foreseeable future, this blog is at risk of becoming a list of links to various texts by Cory Doctorow. Nonetheless, as a novice blogger I found this text to be encouraging and inspiring. The idea that a blog is supposed to be a log of your activity on the web, a (we)blog, was new to me. That makes me slightly less embarrassed to do this thing where I mainly just link to content written by others.
