Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at souptrigger produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at uplandcoveartisanexchange extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at siskavarsity the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to velvetbrookartisanexchange confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at sloopvault reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at swordtunic earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.
