Brandon's old Blog: Cohen... the newest edition to the Squirrel Family

Why I write "rough drafts"

I write all of my posts as rough drafts.

I do this for three main reasons. First, to avoid embarrassment for typos, mis-spelling, poor grammar and many other writing maladies from which I frequently suffer. Second, to communicate that many of these posts are raw thoughts that will be refined by the input, criticism, and superior grammar of others. And, thirdly, to alleviate guilt when I update the content of the post at a later date.

The pressure to post accurately was keeping me from posting at all. This was my way of lowering my personal expectation and getting the blog flowing again...
