This post is about blogging and to publish often. I want, as I’ve mentioned before, get better at writing and expressing myself. Get into the habit of writing a few hundred words about the thoughts in my head, reflections and lessons learned.
I learn things every day, and I’ve learned a lot so far, and I’m learning more about myself if I write it down. Is it, in addition, someone who gets engaged and inspired which leads to a debate that gives me more approaches to what I write that’s even better.
It feels good to write, it’s like I’m creating stuff (which I do). I’m learning about how I think, I also write to share my thoughts. I think peoples thoughts are made to be shared.
That is how we learn from each other.
I also write to get my ideas out of my head and clear my mind.
There are different views on this. To publish often and most of what you write. Some think it disturbs and has no value to write often, too often. This is also why I don’t share this blog so much. Or talking about my blog challenge. What I write is not always of value. Above all, it is difficult to know in advance. That’s all right!
It is the same problem as with people you meet in real life, you don’t know if the person you opening the door for is valuable to you until you talk and interacting with the person. The same applies to blog posts.
Quality versus quantity
Without starting to talk too much about the value of a blog post, I think quantity is necessary to get quality. I believe it is required to get better and develop your writing, or whatever the craft is you want to handle like a champ.
This got me Googling on the subject and I ran across an interesting blog post on Medium, it’s written by Herbert Lui and called “Why Quantity Should be Your Priority“.
I agree with much of what Herbert writes. For me it’s pretty obvious that it is required quantity to get really good at something. Let’s say you want to master a particular craft: your coding skills, your golf shot or your writing skills, whatever. Which approach do you think will win: quality or quantity?
PS. This is post #16 in my blog challenge 100 posts. See you tomorrow!
