Here's my first word collage - a collection of snippets on creative labor + value flow. 

Salvaged from 50+ unfinished essays in my @paragraph dashboard. 

Might turn this into a series, or might not.

The AI summary is on point:

"Struggling with drafts, @danicaswanson experiments with "word collages", salvaging insights from unfinished work. Ruminating on the tension between monetized content creation and artistic integrity, the author explores creative labor and value flow patterns in onchain minting culture."

Returning with 56 $DEGEN as a thank you for the encouragement.

Thanks for the encouragement! 

Speech requires a different cognitive mode that doesn't leave sufficient room for the kinds of ideas that come to me when I write.

Writing *often* takes turns I'm not expecting. Not yet sure whether I'll do more collages, but I'll keep publishing in one way or another.

I too express myself better through the written word than the spoken.
I can' t remember half of what I say, anyway!

I say, 'carry on." Your word collage might take a turn you're not expecting... nature of the feast ; -)

Thanks! I've got mixed feelings about the format. I mean, I think this worked OK, and it even got a few collectors, but I think there's a better way to do it. 

I think I'm going to start publishing more of my short-form work directly on Zora. Maybe one day I can bring the archives from The Anticareerist onto Zora too.

Returning today with 55 $DEGEN for you, as I mentioned in DMs.

This is a great idea for gathering related writing snippets and getting them out there to an audience. I'm also looking forward to seeing your Anticareerist work back online.

I loved reading this this morning. So relatable, on so many levels.
