I've always been a sporadic blogger...I get too caught up in other work and things, and forget to sit down and write. I think it's a very worthwhile exercise, to blog, or just sit down and write every day. Even if the writing isn't related to my research, it would be good consistently practice sitting down and getting thoughts out in a coherent manner. Then, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult to get back into the groove of writing when I need to get a manuscript out? Maybe the words, sentences, and paragraphs would come more easily?
Practice, practice, practice.
It's hard for me to do any reading or writing that isn't related to my research (classic grad student guilt). But, realistically, any reading or writing is practice at improving those skills, not just an exercise in broadening my knowledge base (or confusing myself).
I'm overdue for a few blog posts reflecting on things we've discussed in class -- gaming/gamification, Google Earth, Twitter, Panopto/GauchoCast, reddit....
