I suppose now seems like as good a time as any to apologise for writing an entry that was absolute garbage. I knew it was garbage. I was ashamed to put my name to it. It could have been so, so much better. There were so many more points I could have said. There were also better ways of saying what I did say. Usually after thinking about the entry all week it's the time pressure that causes the words to crystallise into the entry -- and, I hope, a fairly decent one. This was an entry that would have really benefited from a draft.
Of course, I couldn't say any of that whilst the poll was up, because then even fewer people would vote for me. I just have to stand by what I did and brazen it out, hoping for the best. And I didn't want to sacrifice, because there are still entries I want to write, and I hope I can knock it out of the park next week. I do write good entries, entries I'm proud of, just ... not every week. Not consistently. Probably because I don't enjoy the writing process itself, particularly, but that's another story.
