oh here Inquiry, this dude seems to know what the fuss is:

writing/blogging has quality (vs) quantity issue, but "feed" (quantity) is "good" (I'd like to see the parameters on what "good" is) and "stock" (their little word for quality) is also good, too. Because - good good
And I relate to the "stop on the treadmill and realize "I got nothing here" sentiment. A constant tour de Web without stopping to write a thing worth a dang (in this/my case, literally!).
but, ya know, it's just a thing one can do and some do and most don't and it's the same all the time anyway
nice read

I guess it comes down/back to a statement I'd forgotten, namely that it's not magic if/when you know how it works, which to me implies just doing without thinking about the doing, about its potential/desired "effect", etc.
Like the hopscotch pattern embedded in a gymnastics mat where we were with the grandchild, and I was suddenly jumping down the damned thing because I just plain had to. And he followed almost to a tee.
And maybe blogging is finger hopscotch for keyboard?
(Of course, now the author is thinking more about hops and scotch....)
