How does writing the blog differ from writing editorials for the print newspaper?
A. They’re totally different. When you write an editorial, you’re thinking of sentence structure, nouns and verbs. You’re concentrating on an idea and trying to be persuasive. You’re also writing for people who are expecting the piece to be technically sound and grammatically correct. On a blog, you’re flying by the seat of your pants. You’re not sitting there proof-reading. You slam it in there and you make mistakes. I always hear about it in the comments section. My response is: “Look, I’m blogging at the speed of light. Would you rather me not blog as much and spend more time editing?
