Comment on Blog Cause I Wanna by Matt

Definitely just run with it. Drafts are easy: editing is hard. If you just write, you can always file it away if you aren’t happy, you can identify places where you think you need more research, or you can simply toss it out.

One thing that has helped me in the past is the snowflake technique. (Not my invention.) But you create you topic sentence. Add to it til you have a full paragraph. Then take each line in that paragraph and turn those into separate paragraphs. It’s a bit like building a draft from an outline.

The best reason ever to blog: because you want to write. I don’t suffer from lack of ideas, but from lack of courage to write them up. Always self-guessing whether I can tackle the topic well enough.

I think, though, the best way to overcome that is to just do the writing. So that’s my thing for 2012. Start drafting, don’t worry about getting it perfect until I’ve at least written a draft.
