Volkskrant columns november 2023 - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- In November 2023, the author was a guest columnist for the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant, writing four weekly columns that appeared online on Sundays.
- Each column had to be 700 words and express an opinion on recent news topics, marking the author's first experience with a strict weekly deadline.
- The author gained a new respect for regular columnists who maintain such a schedule, but also noted that not everyone can produce top-quality work every week.
- The author suggests that writing when inspired by something exciting might be better than adhering to a fixed schedule, though acknowledging some writers can excel at weekly commitments.
- The text mentions the four columns with links to the published versions in Volkskrant and the author's less polished drafts.
