So I created this blog from scratch, and after posting my first article I noticed something.

I suffer from post-Post clarity

I have noticied before when posting random bullshit online, but holy shit, now having to write longer stuff, it’s clear as day.

As soon as I press the publish button even after re-reading the whole thing, everywhere I look is spelling/grammar mistakes and stupid takes.

How in hell does this happen?

Anyways as a proof of concept any edit will be in comment thread.

    When I write important work-related emails, after I’ve finished writing I leave it open without hitting send, then go make myself a coffee or something completely unrelated to clear my head.

    When I return, I re-read what I wrote and often find things that were written ambiguously, incorrectly, or outright weirdly. And with a myriad of spelling and grammar mistakes. Often I find that I forgot to include important points or information.

    This gives me an opportunity to proofread before hitting send with semi-fresh eyes.

    On lemmy, on the other hand, I find myself editing my own comment right after posting.
