There’s pressure to share everything early. To document in public. To ship before you’re ready. Sometimes that’s useful. Sometimes it’s just loud.
Not every idea wants to be published immediately. Some need time without feedback. Without metrics. Without the subtle distortion that comes from being perceived.
Drafts are allowed to be selfish. They can exist only to help you think. They don’t owe anyone clarity or polish.
Waiting to publish isn’t the same as hiding. It’s a form of respect—for the idea, and for yourself. A way of saying: this isn’t finished becoming what it is yet.
The margin is where that becoming happens.
