42 posts landed in that year. Momentum mattered.
Absurdity first, then thought, then writing
The final frontier
The early posts lean toward Arts & screen. The middle years drift toward Tools & tech. The later work settles around Economics & method, so the archive can be read as a sequence of changing interests.
The most common second-level category is Analysis, with Guides forming the second line. That split is more useful than a tone label: it says how the posts work on the page.
Opening overview
Repeated words point to the questions the archive keeps circling back to.
The broadest piece is "Writing Advice". The most sentence-rich one is "Writing Advice".
Rhythm
Notes
- The x-axis is year and the y-axis is post count.
- The number on each bar gives the exact count.
- Darker color means a more productive year.
Notes
- Each point is one calendar month.
- The line connects months in chronological order.
- Sharp rises mark short bursts of writing.
Notes
- Rows are years and columns are months.
- Each cell counts how many posts appeared in that month of that year.
- Darker cells reveal recurring seasonal habits and short bursts in specific years.
Themes and forms
Notes
- Rows are years and columns are themes.
- Each cell shows how many posts of that theme appeared in that year.
- Darker cells point to periods where a theme became more concentrated.
Notes
- The inner ring shows first-level themes; the outer ring shows their second-level categories.
- Larger arcs mean more posts in that category.
- Read it from the center outward: first find a broad topic, then see how its posts are further divided.
Notes
- Each stacked segment is one second-level category in a given year.
- A taller column means that year produced more posts.
- The color mix shows whether the year leaned toward guides, analysis, reviews, travel notes, or essays.
Notes
- This is a ridgeline chart: each ridge represents one theme.
- The x-axis follows the twelve months; higher ridges mean that theme appears more often around that month.
- It shows recurring seasonal tendencies in topics rather than individual posts.
Aftertone
Notes
- This chart shows the share of each second-level category.
- Each slice stands for one category, such as analysis, guides, or reviews.
- A larger slice means that category appears more often in the archive.
Notes
- The y-axis lists recurring keywords and the x-axis shows their cumulative weight.
- Longer bars mean the word keeps returning across posts.
- Darker color means stronger recurrence.
Notes
- The x-axis shows post length in words.
- The y-axis shows average sentence length.
- Each bubble stands for one post, colored by theme.
- Bigger bubbles mean more sentences.
Notes
- The left side is Categories and the right side is Tags.
- A line means at least one post uses that category and that tag together.
- Thicker lines mean the pair appears together more often.
