The second resolution I made for this year was, “Blog or otherwise write for one hour a week, no matter the subject.”
My earlier experiences with more ambitious blog posts were frustrating, as I find my breadth-first thinking patterns do not easily translate into good writing. But I read a lot of material, both online and in dead tree form, and plenty of people write well, if not amazingly. My guess is that practice is important, as is allowing myself to make mistakes. So I’ll be writing often, and hoping to learn how by doing.
