I'm happy I found it as I thoroughly enjoyed the "history lesson" and what you had to say. I like how you shared you can write a post in less than 15 minutes. I've read it can be done but unfortunately it's not something I've mastered yet. I applaud you for your talent to not only write a post in 15 minutes +/-, but for also being able to write music quickly, too. You are truly gifted. Hi Mitch,

I am always in the office late thinking of little things I can do to make the blog a nicer experience. Of course, good content to educate consumers is my main focus. However, a majority of my readers might not even know what a blog is, so I try to keep that in mind and make things as easy to find as possible. I have gotten better with my coding for my posts over the last few months, so now I can usually get a post start to finish in 2 to 3 hours. .-= Check out Damon Day´s awesome post: <a href="http://damonday.com/227/debt-settlement-nightmare-for-phoenix-woman/">Debt Settlement Nightmare for Phoenix Woman</a> =-.

Beethoven used to take weeks to write a sonata. He would take months to write a symphony, sometimes years. He would rewrite his stuff many times before he was satisfied, and even then, sometimes he released things he wasn't happy with. Mozart wrote fast. He was known for writing things once, and that was that. He wrote one of his Requiems in less than three weeks; that's just phenomenal stuff. He said he heard the music, and he wrote the music, and that was that. I tend to write fast. When I have an idea, I go with it, and I'm usually done within 5 to 10 minutes. And I write some pretty long posts at times. The only reason a post might take longer is when I decide to add some internal links to a post. And I write a lot. That's just the way I am. When I used to write songs it would take me 30 minutes to do it; lyrics and music. I don't think it matters how long it takes someone to write something, as long as it adds something to whatever others want to read or learn. Just thought I'd say all that since the first comment was doubting anyone could write something good in 15 minutes. .-= Check out Mitch´s awesome post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/vQQWB-uZ-u4/" rel="nofollow">How Do You Value?</a> =-.

And yes, enjoying the process is crucial. Without that, I think we could easily get burned out. Hi Amanda,

Clear out a chunk of time to write, or spend short spurts of time throughout the day, editing, tweaking and getting it just right. And that's true. If we do know a topic real well, although it would be easy to write about it, like you said, we could end up getting kind of wordy. Oh, it can be a fine line, hey? Hi John,
