Take a Peek Behind The Curtain – See How I Write A Blog Post
by Retire by 40
“Blogging isn’t easy for me. I lived in the US for 32 years and my English isn’t bad, but it is my second language. I still occasionally misuse grammar in everyday conversations. In high school, English was always my weakest subject. STEM classes were my forte back then. Logical classes were easier for me. I used to hate writing essays because I wasn’t any good at it. I just wasn’t motivated to write better because could fall back on STEM.”

Insights on Writing, Habits, Happiness & More
“Screw it, ship it: I used to get hung up on trying to write perfect articles. I would be 95% satisfied with a post, then spend hours or days trying to bump it up to 99%. Now I practice the mantra “screw it, ship it.” The more I publish, the more the universe rewards me with more ideas to publish.”

Why My Blog Is A Hobby – Not A Business
by Tread Lightly, Retire Early
“As I revealed previously, I write most of my posts on my phone and do no real proofreading or editing of posts before they go live. Again, because I’m not intent on blogging as a business, it’s okay if something isn’t perfect when I hit publish (and Erin will always let me know when I have a mistake – thanks editor friend!). I’m a serious Type A person by nature, but the hours I can devote to blogging are limited, so it has been a really good experience to learn to relax and just go with the flow a bit more than I’m used to.”
