Liked: Finish Those Blog Drafts! by Kelson Vibber image of keyboard

I have a bad habit of starting blog posts, getting 90% done, and then never finishing them. I’m trying to combat that by taking some advice I read* a while back:

Instead of saving a draft when you’re mostly done but not satisfied with the writing, schedule the post for a few days from now. If you really think of a way to make it better, you have time. If not, it was good enough and you actually got the piece out. I'm going to spend this weekend going through my drafts and just finish a bunch of them.

Many of us feel this way. It's even harder when it's been a while since I've touch some drafts. Some things seem out of context or the moment has passed.

This reminds me I need to setup the auto publish plugin for my website.

Liked: Walking the Heck out of Thailand by Craig Mod

It was hot. I was sweating. We — were sweating. Had we ever sweat so much before? Did it matter? Our sweat had sweat. We were a moving swamp. The fabric bits on our backpacks had turned sentient. I wanted to apply bleach atop my sunscreen. Wanted to order replacement toenails. Because: we were walking. And by god, were we talking.

Such a great post! I felt like I was visualizing what was all around Craig and his perspective of the walk. Talk about a good boy (dog) that followed them for most of their trip to their final destination. What a beautiful story. I hope to write like this with so much elegance and detail. The post even share the .kml file to map out in Google Earth.
