jennalanger well hi there
Great article, and now all I can think about is how hard I laughed at Stephen Colbert's take on repackaging/curation as a business model. Behold: http://www.colbertnation.com/ColbuffingtonRe-post
On a show recently, he called out huffpo for having based an entire section of their site on repackaged excepts from Colbert's show. I get the sense he's not actually complaining (believe the rule is he is ALWAYS being sarcastic), and syndication is generally a good thing... but we must not forget to actually create original work sometimes.

I think the number one reason I fail to blog (I've had a blog in the past, its not up any more) is because it just takes too damn long. In fact writing anything coherent and useful can be a real challenge, especially without ruthless daily practice. When I do write, I absolutely obsess over every word. I make multiple passes to ensure I haven't included too many filler words, and to re-arrange and re-assembe my ideas. Chunk of a sentence, a half a paragraph: copy-paste, rinse, repeat.
I also find that when I'm truly inspired or otherwise motivated by a topic, eloquence sort of comes naturally. This is a big part of successful writing - giving a damn!
