I have now been writing this blog for four years. And whilst, over the last few decades, I have always enjoyed writing articles, pamphlets, and even the occasional book, writing a blog is different.
First it has an immediacy which the other more traditional forms of writing don’t have. An article for the HSJ comes out, at best, a fortnight after you have written it. A pamphlet might be published 10 months after it was begun, and writing a book always feels like a lifetime. So the immediacy of writing a blog was very different and I had to learn how to do that.
