你应该坚持写博客 即使没有读者

你应该坚持写博客 即使没有读者

You should blog even if you have no readers

 

Spencer Fry 就“为什么企业们要坚持写作”做了一个分享。我要补充的是，坚持写博客，你会获得非凡的收益，即使没有读者（不管你是不是一个企业家）。

Spencer Fry wrote a great post on "Why entreprenuers should write." I would further add that the benefits of writing are so extraordinary that you should write a blog even if you have no readers (and regardless of whether you'er an entrepreneur).

我有超过50篇以上的草稿，其中一些只是我自己思考时涂鸦的一些想法，它们多数不会被发表，但是我还是从中收益匪浅。

I have over 50 unfinished drafts. Some of them are just a few ideas scribbled down arguing with myself. Most of them will never be published, yet I got value out of writing all of them.

书写会让你成为一个更好的读者

Writing makes you a better reader

写博客改变了我读其他人文章的方式。

 Blogging has changed how I read other people's writing.

 

In struggling to find the right ways to structure and present my posts, I am much nore attuned to what makes a good argument and what makes a bad argument. I am better at seeing holes in other perple's reasoning.

 

At the same time, when reading I am less likely to fall into trap of discrediting a post with weak counterclaims. In most any post, there are likely to be counterclaims that are based on exceptional cases. Internet commenters love to point these out. However, there exceptional case miss the main thrust of the post, and by understanding the implicit backdrop behind a post's argument, I get a lot more value out of reading.

 

I'm also more aware of the style of goog writers. I mentally take note of the ways good writers phrase their ideas. I'd always enjoyed Paul Graham's writing, but now I really apperciate how he organizes his posts. He has an awesome ability to suck you into his world and show you what it looks like from his perspective. I've learned a lot about good writing from reading Bradford Cross's blog; his posts have a clear arc and make excellent use of short paragraphs to keep the post s flowing.
