Discover what you’re thinking AS you blog.

3. Figure it out as you go
The fun of blogging: treating it as an adventure.
You don’t know what the final destination (or product) of your blog post will look like!

Blog only about ideas which interest you.
Also realize that every blog is a ‘work in progress’. It doesn’t need to be perfect— the great joy! Anti-procrastination; because there is no perfectionism involved (paralysis by analysis).
