lazy-ass-dog-custom.jpgAhmedF says bloggers tend to ramble a lot, and oftentimes it’s easier to go on rambling instead of going back to edit your material to make sure it’s organized and sensible.

Blogging can be very narcissistic. Classic narcissm involved people who loved to ‘hear themselves speak’. The blog world replaces that with ‘love to write excessive text.’ 90% bloat comes free.

Of course his point is that more words = lazy blogging. Good writing involves a lot of editing. Free flow of information is great, sure. But then for your writing to be effective, your point must reach your intended audience in the most efficient way possible. Sometimes, less is better—less words, that is.

If you need X words instead of Y words (where X < Y), only lazy people go with Y.

(That discounts creative writing, of course.)
