I wrote this blog nine years ago. It is still one of my favorites. I think it summarizes the two major modes of writing. I sometimes have preferred one and then later I switch to the other. A few more years go by and I switch again. I guess I am a switch hitter. I don’t think one mode is superior to the other. It seems my mode is determined by my moods and very little else. So without further ado, I hope you find some “motivation” here for your writing. I realize that many of my you are bloggers and writers. If you find some ideas in here that are useful or not useful, I welcome your comments. John
