My posting frequency is way up. I’ve done this, in part, by writing a little on a bunch of different posts each night. I revisit and edit, as well as add content every time I touch a post. I often wind up with nothing that I started from – sometimes not even the title – but it’s always better than my first draft. One of those hard lessons from school I guess – your first draft is never good enough.

This is particularly true for the longer technical posts. There’s a lot of content in each one, and a lot of research that needs to be done to make sure you have the right data, links and topics ready for a coherent article. As I’m now trying to produce for Shufflegazine now as well, I need all the practice I can get.
