Keep It Simple Stupid

Some of us take days and weeks to write a blog, while others can take two minutes and write a great blog *cough* *cough* Denny (B|T). Why is that? I think it’s simple, we are thinking to hard about it and over complicating things. Just sit down at your computer and write what’s on your mind. It doesn’t have to be rocket science or something completely mind blowing or life changing. I’ve seen several, as of late, crowd source their next topic, I think this a great avenue to take as it is those people that are likely your readers. There’s nothing wrong with asking others what you should write about, as a matter of fact you might be helping them solve their latest issue.

Anyhow, we made comment today in our team’s chat at DCAC as to why Denny & Joey (B|T) can write blogs and articles so easily, while some of us have must ourselves to get one out as often as we can.

I think the answer is KISS… Keep It Simple Stupid.

Stop overthinking and just write.

I challenge all those bloggers out there, especially those struggling to write their next blog, to set a timer for 5 minutes and see what you come up with. I’d love to read them.

NOTE: This blog was written with a time of 5 mins with 227 words.
