There are 2 kinds of aspiring writers. Those who want to write for the people they want to talk to, and those who write for the people they want to share a stage with. That’s basically the blogger/magazine-writer fork in the road. Both valid modes, but hard to do both well.

I definitely have against-the-grain struggles when I write magazine style (only done it 4-5 times). I like the outcome generally, but it feels unnatural. Much more paternalistic mode and designed/packaged effect. Like TED vs an academic seminar.
