And that was a lot of time.<br /><br />I think there's a correlation between time spent composing and planning prior to typing the post and the quality of that post. I'm not for one second implying that any of mine were ever actually good, just that some weren't quite as shit as the others.<br /><br />As for the "why bother" question, surely if you enjoy writing about what you just did, and enjoy the fact that people actually read it then it's all been worth it, no? Again, a correlation I've noticed there: when the writing about your latest trip to the Ingrebourne (where you saw nothing) becomes a chore, then the resultant piece probably isn't worth writing, let alone posting.Parushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024262180635083005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-20783981231246802322010-10-27T13:31:36.357+01:002010-10-27T13:31:36.357+01:00"Do any other bloggers do this?"
