It doesn't work that way. I write in 3 different ways. The first is research. I see something that grabs my attention and I dissect it down to its core elements so I can explain it to others. It doesn't matter who the others are or if they even exist. It's just the way I write. The second way is teaching. When I get into teaching mode I just pour out information on a topic. I embed stories, examples, and anything else that'll drive the point home. Ask Dana about the SEO notes she took from me at the last 360Flex. I started talking and she took notes and asked questions. Now I have to find the notes she wrote up from it. :) Teaching mode is good, but not what I'm talking about when I say "the mood". The third way is both my blessing and my curse. Sometimes a muse sits on my shoulder and gives me inspiration to not just speak, but speak in fully organized paragraphs that are ready to be edited and published. That's the blessing, so here's the curse. When it happens I can't write it down or I break the flow. I need to tell it to a person who can write it down for me. I can't use a recorder or the like. I need a human to interact with. Unfortunately, Judith does not type as fast as I need for this. If she did I'd have reams upon reams of material rather than fragments that I've tried to write down when the mood was there but another person wasn't.
Just to put things into perspective, the document with my article fragments is 14 pages long and it's not even half of what I have. Yes. I know. I suck.
