blogger's paradox

as with all forms of art and self expression, one struggles between wanting to document any/all thought, that something great may come out eventually, and wanting to save each blog post for only the most poignant introspective and life rewriting writing. this defeats the purpose of the blog as a medium for personal journaling. the best writing will sublimate from practice and experience, and can be extracted from the blog when needed. if it makes me feel any better, i can always have a highlight reel for any posts i feel are especially well polished. i don't forsee needing that any time soon. #meta #writing
