&lt;p&gt;I have not faithfully written in this blog. A large part of that is that I have struggled to set aside time to write. There are many blog posts that I &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to write. But it takes so long to write and edit a good blog post. You may notice that so far I have &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; good blog posts &amp;mdash; they are all poorly written. This happens because I start writing, run out of time for the day, and then have a decision: I can either publish a post as it is, poorly planned, hastily written, and generally rough, or I can wait until I edit it. Every post in my blog so far is the result of a decision to post something rough rather than to wait until I eventually edit it. For every blog post that I have published, there is another that I started but left languishing. For every blog post awaiting edition, there is another that I wanted to write but decided not to even start because I knew I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t edit it. The key takeaway: I never come back to edit. After one bout of writing, I am out of steam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.willghatch.net/blog/2018/08/22/lamenting-poor-writing/?utm_source=writing&amp;amp;utm_medium=Atom"&gt;&lt;em&gt;More&amp;hellip;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content></entry></feed>
