Hey Robin! Great post as usual.

I feel like you’re right brother. The ideas that may strike me as revolutionary in my mind, are often the most difficult to transfer into writing. I can’t sit down at my desk and just start writing like it’s second nature, it requires form and structure, and ultimately planning.

You hit the nail on the head brother. Can’t wait for next week’s post. Keep up the great work!

Robin makes me think about my writing and wonder if I’ve ever written anything worth reading. I’m a law student so I haven’t studied the intricate mechanics of writing but I’ve always aspired to be a great writer and have an excellent command of grammar. Thanks for this piece, Robin. I’m reminded how much work goes into the pieces you and others share.

Thank you again for another insightful piece. As I said to you previously I struggle with writing in so much as I know what I want to write but as soon as I go to write it down the words disappear. It does not matter what I want to write, the result is the same.

Most of my writing tends to sound like a jumbled stream of consciousness and it pretty much is. Looking forward to the next post to learn more about rhetoric!

I certainly agree. A lot of times, the advice doesn't cover actual writing technique and so even writing every day might mean poor writing daily. I'm looking forward to the next post! Thank you for this.
