As you browse through these posts, you will notice something.. there are "problems" here and there. Misspellings, phrases not grammatically correct, layout issues, etc.. I'd like to take a moment to explain... because yes, there is a lesson here also.
Function Over Form. A principle you would do well to adopt. That functionality of something is much more valuable than the physical characteristics of it. In writing... that means that the technicalities of writing are lees important then the content of the writing. If you as the reader, can grasp the meaning, if light hits your soul and understanding hits your thoughts... then the delivery method is really not that important.
When I write, the words and thoughts flow. Usually much faster than I am physically capable of committing them to paper. Therefore.. mistakes happen. I write as I think. It is not the formal process of "outline, rough draft, editing, final copy"... no.. its "write about this", and as the thoughts flow the fingers type. If I was to pause to correct each and every mistake, or even most of them, the flow of ideas dwindles and the clarity wanes.
That said, I do often go back and correct obvious mistakes, sometimes (depending on the nature of the writing and the audience) I will re-read, edit, and correct things. But rarely. WHY? time. Time is the most precious commodity under our control, and I choose to not spend my correcting small mishaps in life that dont matter so much anyway. My goal is to convey as much thought to you as possible with the time I have left here on this earth... I am not concerned with the mechanics of how that happens.
So my advice is.. endure. complain if you like, but learn to look for the truth and value in the noise. That in itself is a valuable skill. There is value everywhere, but you have to look for it. Think of this blog as practice.
