Writing with no particular goals in mind
Was chatting with dad on the phone earlier today, and he mentioned that since he'd done so much (and done only) writing for academia and for his organization, he wanted to try writing with no particular goals in mind.
I think this is really appealing, and probably should apply to how I approach this blog as well. In general, having each article have to reach some sort of grand conclusion seem like a lot of hassle. And since this goal is created explicitly so that I could Write for no one else particular, it makes sense that I should sometimes, if not most of the time, write with no particular goals in mind.
