Yeah more like that.
It's you have the discipline and by compromising it would probably end very quick.
The first point is something I don't often get.
There are so many cool things to write about/explore that I never really get this "not in the mood" vibe.
The opposite is often true, I have to tell myself to stop exploring at certain times and leave it for another day.
Well that's the most amazing thing about it - that apparently, you're never lost for topics to write about, you've always got something up your sleeve or in the "backlog" ...
What I also noticed - pardon me, but I think that's really part of your "secret sauce", is that you almost always keep your posts short, simple and to the point - I've tried to do blogging in the past, and I think what I did wrong is that I was writing these long elaborate pieces and was endlessly editing and perfecting them - and then I felt "this isn't worth it", it was a huge drain on my energy ... and a time sink.
So I think what you're doing right is:
you PROBABLY keep notes all the time of what you're doing (side projects and so on)
then you chop up your notes into little byte-sized chunks
and bada bing bada boom, in half an hour or so (?) you're able to finish a post
... and this way it doesn't become a huge time sink and a drag, and you're able to keep it up.
