How a post ends up on my blog
Hi friends.
I wanted to take a moment to share my blogging “process,” which I put in scare quotes because it’s not very refined.
First, I have a thought or encounter something to which I have a response and decide I want to share that thought/response.
Then, I open up Google Docs and type what I want to share into a file called “Current Blog Post Draft.” I mainly do this to avoid losing a post because of a browser or app crash.
I sometimes read over it before posting. Sometimes I post right away.
My posts aren’t reviewed by an editor or even a beta reader. They go out fresh, raw, and often flawed in either form or content. The ideas are sometimes half-baked. I’m sometimes writing in the heat of emotion. I’m going to be wrong sometimes. Perhaps often.
Blogs are tools for thinking. As such, the thoughts expressed in them will not always be our most polished.
This is a personal blog, not a professional publication. I don’t mean for it to be anything but a personal blog and portfolio.
Thanks for reading it.
