Writing With Topics organizes the writing index under three topic headings in a three-column grid: Design practice (three posts), Process (two posts), and Career and freelance (three posts). Each column carries a small uppercase topic heading and a ruled card of post rows showing the title and date plus read time. Post titles like The brief is the design and Why I write a handover doc before I write a design spec signal the depth of each topic without a summary.
Topics are a nested array of objects, each with a topic string and a posts sub-array. The three-column grid makes the breadth of the archive visible at a glance.
Reach for this block as the writing index when the archive is large enough that grouping by theme adds genuine navigation value. The installer sets their own topic names and populates each posts array with real entries.

One strong use is the thematic writing archive. Other uses:
Tip: topic headings should describe the actual shape of your thinking, not generic labels; Design practice says more than just Design.
