Better Blogging
Sometimes I write stuff on this blog that I'm really proud of. Other times, I cringe at how juvenile and amateurish I allow myself to be. My post on Friday about Jon Stewart is a good example of the latter. I look over that post now and I agree with the sentiment, but absolutely wince at the execution.
Look, I don't know if at the end of the day I'll ever be anything close to a good writer. The few folks who visit here notwithstanding (and I'm grateful that you guys check in every once in a while, believe me!), I don't think I've created anything yet of lasting value or even immediate usefulness. The stuff you see here isn't generally original or different or anything you couldn't get from a million other blogs. Nor have I really seen it as my purpose to be any of that. Rather, this blog is something I do for me, as a record of what piques my interest, a catalog of the stuff that rises above the level of noise to what I pay attention to. But all that is no excuse for not making more of an effort. More importantly, even if I was the only one who ever read this blog, I would want to be prouder of the work I'm doing.
If how one writes is a reflection of how one thinks, I want my writing to start to reflect more of how I see myself: clear, insightful, funny, honest, with broad interests and strong opinions. Taking some time to develop a point or sitting on a post for a while to give my own thoughts a chance to mature will not be time wasted. Nor will the effort I put into the craft of writing be effort wasted.
