It's fun how this makes me both agree and disagree at the same time.

For whatever reason I manage to re-sign in to LinkedIn or Twitter once in a while, and boy do I hate the tone of people who act like they're some sort of business guru. Beyond the point of the article, there's a pretentious tone that I think one should avoid.

But stuff like:

> Blogging is fun and therapeutic. Grammar and editing aren’t

I have to disagree with. I like the craft portion of any activity. It's the type 2 sort of fun, where it's not necessarily fun when you do it, but the result makes you proud and happy, so it's worth it.

I think a better advice might be to do things for yourself rather than trying to please others?
