The real cost is the hours spent staring at something I just wrote and hating how poorly it is written.

Let me tell you a secret, from having blogged off and on since 2003: nobody gives a damn.

If you want to write, just write.

(dramatically as possible) I do. I give a damn.

You are completely right but also I can quit the desire to review and revise. Ultimately it is a good thing and an exercise in persistence but sometimes it's a grind.

Been blogging almost monthly since the late aughts, I am just being a complainer.
