And it’s okay to start writing a post from the middle. Just write. It’s better than looking at a blank screen or wrestling over a catchy title.
Remember our Blog Posting Mantra:
- Write the Post First
- Title the Post
- Choose Categories
- One Link Out Every Post
- Image Above the Fold
- Tag it
- Ping it
My copywriter friends will tell you to write the headline first — but they are copywriters (and great headline writers). They talk to their kids in great headlines. Most of us can get trapped in blogger’s block if we stare at a blank title too long. Then we get trapped on the first sentence. And we get frustrated about blogging.
Write. When you’re done writing, edit. Don’t edit first. You have nothing to edit if you have nothing written.
It’s okay to start writing a blog post from the middle. It’s what I did here (and I skipped the edit so I could show the example).
Ready….Go!
