Are You Writing Articles or Blogging? If So Practice, Practice Practice
I just finished reading Chris Brogan's recent blog post The Writing Practice . It is a great piece well worth reading. He discusses how he comes up with ideas and how those ideas become a blog post. Then he makes the point that you should always be practicing your writing. I agree.
I wrote a monthly column for Roads and Bridges magazine for close to 25 years. I know that my first columns were not as good as later columns. I began writing this blog in 2006. I hope my more recent posts are better than the posts I had those first few months.
If you are a young lawyer take an assignment you just finished and create an article or a blog post that potential clients would find valuable. Do it just for practice. Then do it again after the next assignment. Ask yourself how your potential clients would benefit from reading what you have written.
