Guest Post: Writing as a way of thinking

January 19th, 2010 by Andrew Swenson in Guest Post

I had the opportunity to guest post over at Srinivas Rao’s personal development blog, The Skool of Life. Stay tuned too, because tomorrow my interview in the “Up and Coming Bloggers Podcast” airs on the same site. But to wet your appetite today, here’s a snippet from my post on The Skool of Life:

Rarely, if ever, do I start a blog post knowing exactly where it will end. Some have told me this is a weakness. I tell them it’s writing.

For me writing is essential, not for my blog or for revenue or pageviews or recognition or even my “personal brand.” Writing is essential because it is a way of thinking, a mode of critical analysis, and one step closer to solving problems.
