How to Blog Everyday

You can’t have a blog unless you write!

One dark November, I participated in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) where I  committed to writing and publishing 1 blog post every day for 30 days. During this time, I learned a lot about the writing process and what it takes to churn out posts that still matter. 

In this talk delivered at WordCamp Portland, I share tools, tricks, and tips for getting those words out, edited, and published for the world to read.
