I sometimes fly through posts with a mission to get the information screaming inside my head out as soon as possible.
As with most people I can think much faster than I can type. Purging myself of the facts in a way that readers can understand is not a first draft kind of thing.
At least it shouldn’t be. Time must be taken to get the points ordered properly and fill in the blanks of assumption you make as an expert in your niche.
Yet this must be done in the blogosphere as concisely as possible because every word is a chance to keep them reading or lose them to some shiny object.
Catch 22
Better writing takes work and forethought, even for casual bloggers who want to keep a “me to you” kind of vibe going. Even in a market where people may be more forgiving of the occasional unformulated idea, point, or rant.
But just because your readers might be forgiving doesn’t mean they are going to stick around forever waiting for you to make your point.
