I've decided to start blogging before I head to bed. We'll see how long this lasts.
Penning (typing) your thoughts is a valuable process. It's a sort of a catharsis for the mind, easing tensions and promoting positive reflection and growth. But what is the proper venue for expressing your thoughts? And further, just how explicit should you be in your opinions?
For me, these two items are inextricably linked. First off, the appropriate forum for dumping one's thoughts, at least for me, is online. Typing allows me to post my thoughts rapidly. I don't have much free time, and the more words per minute I can type, the faster I can free up mental capital.
Non-electronic methods fail me for a number of reasons: I have terrible penmanship, my paper trail is consistently moving, and I don't much like reading my own penmanship. Some other electronic (non-online) might be feasible, but I've tried keeping a simple text file or word document with little success and the possibility of a hard drive crash causing me to lose the data.
So, online I post online. But with the web, comes the disadvantage, that I have to couch my thoughts so as not to disparage others explicitly, write in vitriolic tones, or make myself appear otherwise unprofessional.
