Oh wow! Why did I not discover your website earlier! I felt like a kid in a toy store when I discovered all these wonderful gems.

But perhaps I wasn’t ready yet. I’ve only been amateur blogging now, on and off, for about 6 months, and only now that I have learnt the basics the hard way do I really appreciate the depth and reach of some of the articles.

What led me to this article was my gut-wrenching worry that I spend too much time writing a post. Sometimes I go back and edit it over and over again to get it like I want it, and I was worried that I overdo it. Now that I see I’m not alone I feel much better. Thank you!

I totally agree. Which is why my office was just filled with screams of agony when Jay caught that, for all intent and purposes, minor boo boo which was the result of a technical glitch, not the intent of the time I spent spell checking and making sure that this said what I wanted it to say, without saying too much or too little. I usually don’t publish posts that mostly blockquote others. But the points were made in the quotes, so this one required a little more attention.

My husband said, “Honey, it’s a little thing. Don’t stress it.” But I do. As you said, I fuss over my words. I grill every word and letter through the torture test of my own editing. Sure I make mistakes, that’s just part of the process, and I fix them when I find them, but I want to make sure that they are the best they can be when I hit the publish button.

As with my photography and any work I do, the writing I do on my blogs is a reflection of me, my values, and my standards. It is my resume. As Phil said, want to know how good I am as a person, read me.
