Yeah, that standard piece of advice is essentially what I was going for. She doesn&#x27;t say to sleep on it and fix it the next day, though.<p>&gt; Save it as a draft and come back and reread it in the morning. [...] If you can amuse yourself when you just woke up and you heard all the jokes about the text selection API last night, you have done a good job. And if you can&#x27;t, <i>fuck it, leave it in the drafts and don&#x27;t worry about rewriting it.</i> [emphasis mine]<p>The author doesn&#x27;t mention any sort of copy-editing process and instead leaves a misleading dichotomy between &quot;rewriting&quot; and &quot;leaving it in the drafts&quot;.<p>Blog posts should be written with an awareness to the audience, but not necessarily catering to them. Just enough awareness to say &quot;y&#x27;know, someone else is going to read this, so maybe I should cut out a few paragraphs and get to my point a teensy bit quicker.&quot; Otherwise, comments are about the style of writing rather than the content, or about adjacent points that don&#x27;t concern the main topic. And not being able to interact meaningfully with your audience is lame.
