It turns out that blog posts don’t need to be very long.
For a long time, I thought that a blog post needed to be longer than a Tweet (are we still calling them tweets? I left Twitter before it’s name change) or a Facebook Status. If my thought wasn’t longer than that, why bother?
Well, it’s worth bothering in order to keep a blog from becoming a barren wasteland of pixels and ideas. Sometimes, an idea doesn’t require a lot of words in order to effectively communicate it. Additionally, it’s freeing to not tie your hands with some arbitrary restrictions you’ve placed on yourself, and it can turn blogging from being a tedious, intimidating slog, into something attainable. It may not sound like much, but is doesn’t have to be.
