One of the best bits of my job is helping people who want to write, but are a bit nervous about doing it. Thought I'd make a note some of kinds of things I share with people to encourage them to give writing or blogging a go. Some of these are responses to questions, which you can probably infer without too much bother. (Sorry, time is short!)

No need to be nervous! Although they're not always a bad thing. People who are a bit uncertain very often write the most interesting things in my experience!

And:

I can support as much or as little is needed to get the post to where you're happy with it.

And:

The beauty of blogging is there aren't really any rules. But shortish is never a bad thing, and this might be an opportunity to practice? But that said, sometimes interesting details can turn a good post into a great one, so maybe for this you could aim for high level, but dive into more detail in a few areas you think are most interesting?

Also:

No need to overthink it. If you find the words are flowing, trust that and go with it.

And:

If the words get stuck a bit, I can help with that too.

And finally:

A story with a beginning, middle and end works really well, but don't sweat it if it doesn't pan out that way :)

So, you know: those sort of things.
