If you know you have to write something every single day, even a paragraph, you will improve your writing. If you're concerned with quality, of course, then not writing is not a problem, because zero is perfect and without defects. Shipping nothing is safe.

Take Care of Your Little Notebook by Charles Simic | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books
8 weeks ago by patrickrhone
If one has the urge to write down a complete thought, a handsome notebook gives it more class. Even a scrap of paper and a stub of a pencil are more preferable for philosophizing than typing the same words down, since writing a word out, letter by letter, is a more self-conscious process and one more likely to inspire further revisions and elaborations of that thought.

"Many of HTML’s original cowpaths were paved by writers and editors, long before the web arrived. Paragraphs, headings, blockquotes, articles, ordered and unordered lists, and so on, all emerged from age-old ways of working with text. Now new cowpaths are being paved on the web itself, and we need the people who love the text the most to get involved in where we go. We need you."

"More importantly, advocacy is one of the ways in which a publisher remains relevant in a world where the only obstacles to publishing are a reasonably fast internet connection and skill with a keyboard. By filtering and developing the best content—with an eye to how it benefits your readers—a publisher can simultaneously spread ideas both within and without a community."

Information Diet | 500 Words before 8am
february 2012 by patrickrhone
Starting your day as a producer means that your information consumption has meaning: the rest of the day means consuming information that is relevant to what it is that you're producing. Waking up as a producer frames the rest of your habits. You're not mindlessly grazing on everyone's facebook's statuses. You're out getting what it is you need to get in order to produce. Waking up as a producer is procrastination insurance.

The Californian & The New Yorker | J. D. Bentley

"I’m greatly disappointed that the web allows mediocrity to be so easily distributed, but I should not overlook the fact that it also offers this cheap, worldwide distribution to the thoughtful and the talented. If you work hard to learn a craft and even harder to master it, if you put great thought into what you say and who you want to say it to, then there’s no better place to be published than on a website you yourself own."

iOS Text selection tips - Mac OS X Hints
october 2011 by patrickrhone
If you make a two fingers swipe on a paragraph, it is selected (the easiest way I've found is to make a swipe down just on the paragraph).
In the same way, if you pinch out (like when zooming in a photo) a wider selection is automatically started and you have 'control' over both the beginning and the end of the selection.

A great solution would be a service or plugin that categorizes everything based on reading time. At the most basic level, this would be calculated by the word count. There are already a number of plugins for WordPress that accomplish this1, and it can be done with less than 10 lines of PHP.
