On Writing Slowly
[PLACEHOLDER: Opening — a specific anecdote about a piece that took a long time to finish, rather than a general statement about patience.]
[PLACEHOLDER: Development — what slowness actually gave the work that speed wouldn't have. Concrete examples land better than abstractions here.]
[PLACEHOLDER: Closing thought that ties the essay back to the opening anecdote.]
