The act of blogging helps solidify your thinking. Like a fine-tooth comb, all your ideas, brain farts, and other collected artifacts will come together to paint a big picture of your depth and understanding.
One never stops blogging, as one never stops thinking. Writing and publishing daily–whether it’s 50 or 500 words–is, therefore, a practice in stretching one’s thinking while also making them vulnerable. But by showing your work, your prime the pump of confidence.
One should expect to be a better blogger five years from now than they are today. What happens over that time period is not just a bunch of words to play with, but hopefully a sense of categorization and organization. After all, blog posts make good books.
