Ross, around here, we call Seth Godin style writing “snackables.”

At least for the shorter stuff he was producing for a while.

Last year I tried to reverse engineer Seth’s writing, break it down into understandable “types.” I wasn’t successful. Might be more successful now, I should try it again.

Thanks for stopping by.

I like this a lot – definitely a great take on the creation process of different posts.

And spelling out in this way should help me conceptualize how much work a post is really going to take, rather than just nudging towards the mean.

El3 – I spend a fair amount of time at this. I have a number of trick I use to increase output though.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that takes a long time to write an article. Research takes time. Getting all of that research on the page and in order is not easy.

@Dana – Writing can be really easy when you know what you want to say, and how you want to say it. When you just know you want to say something, anything, then it’s a lot harder.

@elmot –

@EJ – I really hold back in public. I really do. We’re supposed to “let it all hang out.” That’s horse puckey. Let some of it hang out.

Wow Dave you really got “graphic” with this one, writing either comes easy for me or extremely hard. It’s never just one day at a time.

Writing is a tedious process for me when there are times when I am not having that kind of focus I needed on coming up with a post.

But I will when you say that emotional posts devoid of facts and all needed data are easy to do…especially about personal rants.

The writing is easy and need less time for me but the research for writing really need hard work and time.

I would love to be able to write an article in a short period of time. Simply put, I can’t. Before publishing something that comes to my mind, I first do a lot of research (make sure that I am not saying BS for example). Then I have the images which have to blend with the context of the article. The I have to do the SEO bit, and then… well i think you got picture.

No doubt, the more effort you put in writing your article, the more value it will have..
