I've never made a point of separating the two before, so I guess I'll have to feel my way around it, but just figuring out that it's there is enough of a discovery for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591344875205032076.post-50224156105067622412009-07-08T13:52:26.231+02:002009-07-08T13:52:26.231+02:00Hey Charli--glad to see you struggling through.
...Hey Charli--glad to see you struggling through. <br /><br />I think I can clarify some things for you. Some people are using the 15 minutes to write blog posts, but you can also just use it as a free writing exercise before you write a blog post, to clear your mind. <br /><br />And though 15 minutes is the starting point you can take (and probably should) more time to edit later if it is something you wish to publish. <br /><br />I think it is very helpful though to separate the process of editing from writing. Flow is very important. <br /><br />And everyone is coming from a different place. It sounds like you've not had a problem with writing consistently or flow, since you write out of habit almost every day anyway. For some writing at all is the battle. For others, like you, you are struggling between raw content and form. You are on the "write" track if you are beginning to think of them as separate processes. <br /><br />Keep writing!blog nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546454002729653696noreply@blogger.com
