Throw aways
I find that I throw away close to 50% of the posts I write. I don't know why. I get to the end of the post and instead of publishing it I delete. Now in some instances I reread what I wrote and decided I didn't like my writing(mostly). Other times I write a response to something that is going on and before I publish I run through what my publishing really means. Sometimes no response is better than response that is spur of the moment. Other times I may table responses until steam has settled and I can thoughtfully enter into the conversation. To me there is nothing worse than just adding to the noise. Same thing with comments. I don't always respond to comments. I try to as much as I can, but since I don't believe in moderating every comment sometimes I let comments sit.
Ironically this post has been written and deleted a few times.
