How to Write a Journal: The Short Form

John Scalzi tells How to Write a Journal. While it's specifically an AOL journal, it applies to journal type blogs.

  1. It's about you.
  2. No topic too large, no topic too small.
  3. Write what you know.
  4. Write for yourself.
  5. Short is sweet.
  6. Enjoy (and pace) yourself.
Some of these apply to any sort of writing.
