I took this to mean, in the first case "I write an article every six months" and in the second "I work on each article for six months, but I work on multiple in parallel so I post them very frequently".

The first is being blocked/out of inspiration, the second is being meticulous.

Interesting. I seem historically to have mostly had the opposite problem: too much inspiration, too many ideas, no willingness to choose. It seems, then, like the solution is to kick-start myself into just trying to do multiple things in parallel. But whenever I start on something it seems like I either struggle and freeze (I feel "blocked" despite that I should very well know what the next step is), or I hyper-focus.
