Quantity or Quality?

Since the ‘October Special’ raised a writing challenge for the Triond Community I have begun to wonder about my writing. I have had a veritable flow of articles over the last month, writer’s block has not been a problem.

But should I be writing twenty/thirty/forty/fifty articles in the space of a month? Is it the best way to get my writing out there? Should I be producing less articles, but longer, more erudite and intelligent pieces?

The temptations of producing lots of articles for an increase in pay. Have I sold my writing for the proverbial thirty pieces of silver? Probably not that dramatic, but perhaps it’s food for thought.

Maybe the best way is a compromise.

Write as much as you can, because the more practice you get, the better you get. Throw enough at the wall and some of it might stick.

However, don’t write constantly about nothing at all. Research your topics, write well, and check the spelling! There is nothing worthwhile in leaving rubbish on the internet. Even if you’re not concerned with your online career, remember that we should try and take pride in what we create. Have a grain of self-respect and your writing will be better.

And by improving your content, readers will be more willing to check out your work in future.

More + Good= More Good!!!
