Writing Lessons: From Structure-First to Substance-First
Over the past week, content drifted toward structure-first writing—using lists and section headers even when prose would serve better, making aspirational claims about readiness before validation, and presuming alignment rather than asking genuine questions. This consolidation captures what actually works.
From: Structure-first. Outline the ideas into sections, fill each section with content, organize for readability.
It's starting to warm up back here in Chicago! Just a couple days ago I was complaining because it was snowing and I had to wear my parka. Then yesterday it was high 50s, sunny, and comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt.
Spring can be that way I guess.
This week I'm focused on getting the word out there about Ouro. I feel good with where the platform is and I want to invite more people to try it. There are still countless things I could do, fix, improve, develop, etc., but I'll have to resist the temptation to spend time on them for now.
What a beautiful place. It's lively, fully of beauty and many things to enjoy. I'm here in mid-February and the weather is perfect and the water is warm.
It's really not to hard to get to from the states. I don't think there's any direct flights from Chicago O'Hare or other international airports, but an easy layover in Mexico City or Guadalajara and you can get here in 6 hours. Pretty cheap too, with a one-way going for around $200.
