100 Words 012

Writing is hard! Sure, knocking out 100 words here and there about some topic is relatively easy, but I mean really writing.

Over the weekend I wrote a 3000+ word article for a publication that I’ll be able to announce later this summer. It took me the better part of a working day to do it. Here’s why.

It’s not just, “write.” I need to outline, make sure  the flow works, research, write, find images, test code (if needed), proofread, check word count, proof again.

I want to make sure the article is done well, and done right. Luckily, there are editors 🙂
