I think maybe 1/3 of the things I've written are really any good, give or take, but all of it is practice and makes me better. Realistically, I've got about 400 archived posts.

I'd love to see an anthology of some topic, you've probably written dozens of articles about, say, weird things that happened in history...

This turned out to be a tremendous amount of work, but that could be due to Kindle's poor interface at the time. I still have trauma from how much work that turned out to be.
