I think I’ve just learned a very valuable lesson about blogging: don’t wait until you have time to write the whole blog to start writing down your ideas. I’ve had the belief for a while that a blog needs to be written all in one go – a stream of consciousness as it were. But I’ve come to realise from reading a few that they are often pieces that writer take time over and revise, and edit, and re-work and generally polish. This is a revelation to me, as I have, in the past, always written straight into the blogging site and then pressed ‘post’. I don’t think I’ve ever taken the time to “compose” a piece before.
