This is a reminder for posters in the OYS weekly thread.

The process of writing your OYS is the reason for writing it.

Your OYS is by you, for you. Writing an OYS should assist you in collecting your thoughts and identifying weak points and strong points. Writing is the process, as it takes your jumbled thoughts and helps make them more concrete. Writing helps you reflect. Helps you to think things through.

To reiterate.

Writing your OYS and learning by writing is the reason you should be posting to OYS.

Don't write 'for MRP'. We're internet strangers, who cares what we think. Others may read what you write, and get something from it. But that is not the goal, nor the purpose.

If you're writing the same shit every week, or putting in the same list of books you read, or the same background - remember, this is for you. Does looking at that every week help you in any way? Are you only writing it so other posters can see you've 'done the work'?

If you find yourself holding ctrl_v and ctrl_c when you put together your OYS, then you've missed the point.
