[tantek] it is still taking me more than hour to write a blog post, edit it, make sure it reads reasonably enough, is hopefully not too long. even on subjects that I'm very familiar with!
#
[aciccarello] That's still faster than my blog posts
#
aaronpk I mean that sounds pretty fast tbh
#
[aciccarello] I'd be happy if I could consistently wrap a blog post up within 3 hours.
#
[tantek] aciccarello, ok then I don't feels so bad, I think it did take me around that (or maybe a bit more?)
#
[tantek] no wait I was working on other random work tasks to get out of the way to clear my mind
#
[aciccarello] My blog posts either take 3 hours or 3 weeks 😅
#
[tantek] it's like "blog post mental prep time"
#
[tantek] I have to clear out the stuff in my head nagging me before I can write creatively
#
[tantek] it's a whole process
#
[tantek] looks like it took me just under 90 minutes
#
[aciccarello] Agreed. It takes some warming up.
#
[tantek] I didn't time it precisely but I do have a log of things I did before and final published time
#
[tantek] good news is that the consequence is lots of work related queues got cleared out in the process of writing *one* blog post 😂
#
[tantek] aaronpk, you'll have to judge for yourself if my most recent post is representative of a medium to long sized blog post that takes that much time to write
#
gRegor Haha, I feel that 3 hours or 3 weeks timing
#
gRegor Though looking at my articles this year so far, I think I'm doing better at writing casually. Like week/month note posts or just something fun I'm reminded of, so most of those have been quicker to write.

#
gRegor Looks like I've written 7 so far, which was my total for 2023. Not a race, but I just noticed that.
#
[tantek] I think part of it is any post related to work and/or W3C I feel I have to double-triple check, read for tone, make sure it is well-cited, and make sure I'm not leaving out (at least links to) key folks
#
gRegor Totally, I would feel that way too

[tantek] Thank you [benatwork] 😌 it's been a lot of work, and W3C deserves the positive coverage
