Here's a little thought dump on writing!

Here we go!
An article where you just say some stuff is OK. You're allowed to say stuff.

But you can do better.
An article where you tell a true story about how something worked for you is better. Context! Now we can better understand where you are coming from when you say your stuff. Plus everybody likes a story.
An article where you combine that with quoting _other_ people's writing and stories is even better. Now you're painting a larger picture and helping validate what you're saying. Context _and_ flavor!
An article where you combine all that with research and data is the best. Now you're being personal, acknowledging a world outside yourself, layering in context, and avoiding being too anecdotal. Kapow! Now you're writing!
That's all.
