Dan Luu on Nostr: I do often write the shorter stuff that goes on Patreon that's "only" a few thousand ...
I do often write the shorter stuff that goes on Patreon that's "only" a few thousand words in a single pass, but the set of things I need to hold in my head to write the way do I do is highly super-linear and I don't think any amount of trying harder, practice, etc., could make this work for me with a 10k word post, let alone a 20k word post.
It really starts falling apart around 5k words or so and I haven't (yet?) found anything that's more efficient than just doing an entire second pass.
