It is true. I have been blogging for a about one and a half years and I feel I get better one word at a time, one thought at a time. I want to revise it but it changes the meaning of the first draft. Just post it and keep moving...it gets better with age like good wine. This is a really good article. It is true.

I think your point five is the most important. We have to write something or we will end up with nothing. Understanding this has helped my write more blog posts in the last month than I have in a year. Thanks again. P.S. Love your artwork in the sidebar. Just finished Hugh MacLeod's book. Alvin,

So, if you are going to write well, the first step is quite obviously to actually put pen to page and WRITE. I love Julia Cameron's prescription of Morning Pages, where we can feel free to write without that lovely editor voice piping in. Unfortunately, the next step is engaging that editor and letting it go through your written words with a red felt-tip marker. Thank you for the engaging article. You have a wonderful voice.
