Thinking, creating, editing
It’s been a month (yikes) since my last post. Yikes. I’ve been writing quite a bit, actually. Not programming so much, but still creating.
Left to my own devices to just amble, ramble, and hit letters on a keyboard I will bang out so many words and say very little. With a bit of editing I can cut back on some detail and really cut back my word-count. Now, if I was paid by the word, then… well… *grin*
For me, word-count isn’t as important as getting the message across. However, I must also avoid the dreaded “Wall-Of-Text” but also the “TL;DR” (Too Long; Didn’t Read) concerns. *shrug*
I read an interesting article about how posting updates during the progress of a creative work actually makes it harder to proceed. Apparently, posting updates gives a sense of accomplishment… which makes you feel like you’re done… and not be so inclined go back to work on it.
Hm. Who’d’ve thought, right?
It does explain why I feel I’ve accomplished more when I go long periods without posting to the blog, here.
…or maybe more time between posts gives me more to write about.
