It started as a simple project. Keep blogging daily, but limit each post. The idea was to keep my readers updated on what I was doing, but to be able to focus more time on other written work for other publications.
I decided to limit each post to maximum of 200 words. Most of the time I manage to stick just below that limit, sometimes I just punch out less than 100 words and every once in a while I accept a few words above 200.
So far it seems to have made my blog a bit more personal and not so random as my previous blog, .random[oid].
It has also made me appreciate brevity even more. Being able to say a lot with fewer words.
For my longer write-ups, they are now found gathered in my portfolio.
It has also made me a bit more conscious about what I publish online. I will still stand by what I’ve publicly published in the past, but it’s time to move on from that. Learn from it to produce better work.
Avoiding publishing outrageous rants and later wonder why some avoid me like the plague.
