I’ve had this sitting prominently in my Muse workspace for a while. Seems like a good time to deploy it now.
Barry Hess, You’re a Blogger, Not an Essayist:
I’m not going to look down on you for micro-posting on your blog, either. Heck, I might do it myself. I don’t prefer it, though. A blog isn’t Twitter. Just like I don’t think of a blog as something containing 2,000-word, heavily researched posts.
You don’t have to be an essayist. (Though you can be one if you want!) Don’t let those essayists discourage you from blogging.
Just write. Just blog.
