Here is a paragraph from The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart which stood out when I read it. It is actually about the how the author was writing his book, but it seems to me it could apply to 90% of blog posts out there. (And 95% of blog posts here.)
Of course, continuity is sometimes tenuous, content thin. Digressions proliferate like weapons in a peace-loving country. I may have to rewrite the thing seven or eight times. But words are written. To a writer this is fulfillment. Creativity or crap, it counts.
I’m tempted to steal the last sentence as a motto for this very site.

I think I’ll print out that final sentence and stick it on my monitor 🙂

It is quite inspiring in its own way isn’t it?
