I am constantly going back to edit myself and see where I may have pushed the boundary too far. It's a fine line between creating "saleable content" and being the writer I am (and who I want to be, which aren't always the same thing!)Kolchak Pugglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246753495695769393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091935175643154469.post-34856254978030438262011-10-28T12:04:50.781-04:002011-10-28T12:04:50.781-04:00Helpful and authoritative is good, that gets repea...Helpful and authoritative is good, that gets repeat visits! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing, though. It can be a struggle to be genuine (or recognizable to those who know you in person!) I think my main change is both my blogs are a little more "family safe" than I might otherwise be in full voice, though I'm not sticking to that stridently when it's to do with the writing.Jennifer R.

No one wants to read another person's pity party (at least, I don't), and yet no one's invincible and capable all of the time. So, I just try to be who I am; a flawed guy who makes mistakes like everybody else, and muddles through... like everybody else. <br /><br />I've had a couple people comment that they find me helpful and authoritative, which is kind of news to me, but I'll take it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101734323033788312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091935175643154469.post-52004975232383853712011-10-28T11:23:02.163-04:002011-10-28T11:23:02.163-04:00You're welcome!

It's fun to test those boundaries of what your boss is afraid of, and see what they really think.Jennifer R.

I had a collection of little animals just to drive my manager crazy with the thought that I MIGHT take them down & play with them for five minutes instead of write code.<br /><br />And now you have given me a new blog post.
