I was wondering within my own entirely made up rule set whether it would be OK to write a post ahead of time and schedule it, but thought that this would perhaps be cheating.

I mean, no worries at the moment, I’m writing this right now as it were. But given the fact that by definition you’re only ever going to be reading this after the fact (hello), does it indeed matter whether it was written live?

A timely thought might be interesting – at the time – but becomes increasingly irrelevant the more it ages. We crave novelty, which means we’re always chasing after the newest thought, so perhaps there’s something to be said for a bit of studied timelessness?

I was disproportionately pleased with myself when I thought of the title for this post, incidentally.
