I think Robin will get some good encouragement from that Jon. It’s not about how easy it is … just how easy we make it look

Robin, I’m sure it takes me as much time as you to write a post buddy! It happens more often that I have a “hours spent crafting” day than a “dashing it off” day, but the either way, I enjoy it!

Robin’s a better writer than he gives himself credit for … but we’re all our own worst critics.

I know for myself, it gets easier and takes less time to write a good post the more I do it. But I have “dashing it off” days and “hours spent crafting” days.

Neither is what makes a post great and I think most people would be surprised at which posts come quick and which don’t.

Robin Bal’s comment about not being a natural writer - you never know who is a “natural writer” (meaning I assume, that writing comes easily) if the reading is easy!

I would guess that there are many bloggers who look like they just “dashed something off” but who spent hours crafting a breezy, casual post.

Robin: have you found out that the more you write, the easier it is?

It really helps me to go off on a tangent and get creative with my writing once in a while. Always spurs on new ideas.

You’re doing great as far as I can see.

Try this exercise. Do some surfing and find different ideas and just have fun with it. You can’t get Reeses peanut butter cups without mixing up a little chocolate and peanut butter!

It’ll help free up your thoughts and spark some new ideas or better yet, new ways of writing about the ideas you have.

Keep up the great work!
