Bad blog posts

I get most of my blog reading from Bear's discovery feed, both the trending and recent. I click on all kinds of titles: things that sound interesting, fun, weird, creative, vague...

It's like a Forrest Gump-ish box-of-chocolates surprise adventure. I love it!

Sometimes it's a long post, and other times a short one. Sometimes it's written in a "who cares?" kind of way, and other times very thorough. Sometimes it's all written in lowercase, and other times without a single period.

They are all very different, but they also have one thing in common: the posts have personality.

It's not about good or bad, it's about sharing a personal take on life. It's about putting a digital human touch out into the world. A way for me, the reader, to get a glimpse into your universe.

Don't try to perfect things into a generic and boring mould. Don't sit on drafts believing the posts aren't good enough.

The only bad posts are those that don't get published even though they should.
