Brandon, I don’t really want to be one of those commentors who just drops in and says ‘good job’… but I really don’t have much else to add. You’ve supplied a great roundup with the bullet points as well as something to think about.

Trying to spread your word!

The truth may be harsh but it will set us free. Though it has hit me hard, I agree to what you have shared. I’m glad to be different. :-)

Kiesha,

Our writing, all things being equal, improves as we practice. In addition, as we write more, we discover useful techniques and topics for our future writing…and the process goes on, as long as we write I believe.

Today’s “fluff” (and it is probably not total fluff even though we sometimes feel that way about what we produce) is tomorrow’s and the next day’s non-fluff.

Keep writing, keep thinking, keep posting.

Good Luck,

Bob Hoff

Thank you, sir.

I have recently started to use Windows Live Blogger to post to my Google Blogs. To me, everything about using WLB seems easier than using Google. Google Bogger. It’s amazing to me how WLB allows users to post to their regular blogs.

Have you used it or had anything to write about WLB?

Thanks,

Bob

Bob, I am familiar with your Judge. We were there for a conference once where the Mayor welcomed us. He was a fun individual who “pardoned” the President of our group from a hanging.

I think they’re all decent thoughts for improving our excellence. For those who consider themselves “beginners” realize that there will always be people more experienced and less experienced than where you are right now. The key is to push yourself just toward a slightly higher level from where you are. I sure haven’t arrived yet and have a long way to go. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Powerful statements. And sooooo true. Time is a nonrenewable resource that we get only one stab at – and because I’m always so crunched for time, it sometimes upsets me when it’s been wasted. I don’t want to produce content that no one will care about, because my heart is in there…my time is there.
This post definitely makes me think… uncomfortably, because I don’t want to write another word that’s just fluff…but I don’t want to stop writing altogether, either.
Oh! the challenge…

Great post Brandon! You really hit the nail on the head here. These are going to be good points to think through as I write each new post!
