It's best not to try to maintain self quotas, especially in my case when I can just barely make a deadline. Yes you do, Alberto and you’re absolutely right.

In my case, having done the blog thing for so many years -mostly in Spanish- I've come to a point (matured?) where I just can't go and put whatever thought crosses my mind just to comply with some self-imposed post quota or because I think that's expected of me. That's absurd - I'd rather try to write out something useful and of lasting value, even if that takes me lots of R&D and not being able to "show signs of life" in days or even weeks. In the long run, it will be more satisfying for me. That, and I really need to make myself an avatar here, dammit. Couldn’t be told better.

Often I ask myself whether it's more important to research and write or to just simply write. True. Often I ask myself whether it’s more important to research and write or to just simply write.

I don't take my time, I don't search for the right words, I just let it go. That's just my style. Your style is more careful, thoughtful, eloquent. You make blogging a science and art form, whereas I tend to just see what happens. I hope to one day mature enough, somehow, that I can write as well as you do.
