It occurred to me, as I was preparing this post, that my two most recent blog posts are the antithesis of blogging. The text is not easily readable/scannable. There’s no editing, delete, or spellcheck. No search engine optimization. No photos. No subheads. No links. Google can’t read the text and make it searchable, and as a result, findable by a reader who might be looking for “refillable ink cartridges” online.
If I had the confidence I might write all of my blog posts this way. I won’t, but I do like this writing habit and I’m going to keep it for awhile. There’s something cathartic and calming about pouring myself into a page first thing in the morning. It’s like drinking a glass of juice or water first thing upon waking. It wakes you up, and flushes away everything that has built up.
