The Curse of the Unknown
I probably have about a dozen or so interesting blog posts that are almost written, waiting to be published. Typically, they are partially written, and then I begin to grasp more fully the nature of the topic. Thus the onset of the nagging feeling that the topic I am discussing has already been fully developed by someone else, be that person a philosopher or a mathematician.
The process is rather frustrating, because I really begin to feel my own amateurism. Not that this embarrasses me — I simply don’t believe in writing about things multiple times. I don’t wish to waste the reader’s time. There is a body of truth out there, and this body is not something that need be made more murky than necessary.
Point being, I need to let loose a bit with this stuff. It is infinitely frustrating, though.
