While Winston is spending a large amount of time tweaking his next missive from nobody asked… he frets about not posting for 5 days. I on the other hand never get to a five day old thought, I usually find that if I hold on to an idea more that about two days it becomes out of date what with the speed of the internet and all. It becomes something that I throw away rather than being associated with warmed over toast.

Not to say Winston isn't cooking up something good, just that the thoughts that I have lose their relevance after a few days. Writing for this blog is still like jazz to me. I rarely know exactly what I'm going to say when I start a post and I'm often surprised where it goes when it's done. Nor do I have to do a lot of editing to get it right. I have one full proof method of editing these posts. I remove every second word I write and find the post is much better for it.
