Good motivational talk if you want to start blogging.

[Tomasz Stachewicz · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's short, concise, to-the-point and filled with valuable tips and methods. Probably the best 30-page book I read in the last few years.

Short advice how to avoid overthinking blog stuff, even with cost of delivery not perfect content. Note this is not kind of "definitive guide" book, but more an inspirational one.

Takeaways:

Asking for quick review
— Is the topic interesting?
— Did I cover all that should be covered?
— Is the flow good?
— Is my English good here?

Fieldstone method (based on book "Weinberg: On Writing")
Collect small things in your day-to-day routine, which can be used to build posts. Once you have material, you can just focus on building posts.
In case programmers that could be:
— Links to specific commits you made something nice
— Tweets or blogposts to quote
— Ideas / notes from conference talks
— Add short comments to each

More a long blog post than a book. But for the sure title, that I'll be coming back from time to time. Full of advice and motivational talks.
Just worth ;)
