Amit Gawande has come to embrace imperfection in blogging — something I’m still trying to learn:

I have a bad habit while blogging – my posts need to have a structure. Context first. Lead to the main point next. Follow that with as many supporting points as I can think of. And then I finally hit the whole point of writing the post.

This is foolish. I am not writing perfect prose. I am not writing to meet a particular word count. I often write to convey a thought. One thought. I should write just that one thought.

It doesn’t matter if it takes 10 words. Or 500.
