Writing, magtape

A useful article on how to write a better weblog. In summary: don’t just link, say something new, join the dots, create content. Well, that was my original idea with this blog. I was going to write articles or nothing, and that would help me organise my thoughts and practice writing. Unfortunately, I quiickly found out how hard that is. If I spend a day playing with, say, web services, my poor little brain is just too frazzled to be able to extract some useful or interesting commentary from the experience. And even if I could, I find it very difficult to switch from coding to writing – I produce very long sentences with nested, punctuated clauses, and way too many brackets. Code, in other words.
