&lt;p>&lt;strong>Step 1: Write.&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I think this is my greatest challenge. Actually sitting down and writing posts that are personal yet pertinent. That don&amp;rsquo;t disengage my audience. That aren&amp;rsquo;t written only for me. That say something. But that aren&amp;rsquo;t too sanctimonious and insipid.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>In this era of tweeting, and sms-based conversations, and threaded &amp;lsquo;conversations via email&amp;rsquo; sometimes trying to be a blog entry can be too much! Sometimes a blog post should be short and sweet and say something right then and there. Sometimes it should be a lengthy rant or an ongoing rumination with updates as one discovers more.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
