Not each post is a homerun

Trying to write something really enjoyable, insightful, on target, and coherent on a regular basis is something of a challenge.  I have done posts that I have pulled because they did not make any sense.  Sometimes I have even been pleased with a computer glitch would eat a post, and I would have to start over.

Yesterday I struggled somewhat with an Applepeels on innovation.  I published it anyway because I thought it had some valid points, and I knew that I would be too busy to spend much more time on it.  Probably what it needed was a good editor to kick it back to me for rewriting.  Yet after a thousand people have read a post, rewriting it usually does not make a lot of sense.

My theory has been that readers will question me enough in the comments to get me to respond with what I really meant in the first place.  That happened today, I think the comment that I made at 9:27 pm tonight  on Applepeels might have made more sense than the original post.  It gave me a line of thought that I might expand on the next time I have a free moment or two.

I think the fact that readers help you think through your logic is one of the great things about writing for the web.  Yet there are times I would like that second set of eyes before I post a piece of writing that might not be a closely reasoned as I would like.

So don't be shy in making me defend my position.  You might actually be doing me a favor.

My brain might be so filled with the intricacies of agency in real estate that my thoughts could have lost their coherence.  I am studying for my real estate broker post licensing courses, and it isn't exactly exciting material,  but there's nothing like the shock of a good tough comment to kick the brain into gear.
