Comment on Writing is networking for introvertsparent

Not the person you replied to, but it's usually more of a shift in desired tone/writing style than just a general objective evaluation.

For example I can write a post and feel the tone is good, then come back to it and find it too informal, not expert-y enough. Then I'll write a new article and some time later find it too academic and not engaging enough.

That might just be me though.

This is often described by authors. They sometimes suggest letting the writing rest a while. Come back to it a while later and adjust it into a final draft. This advice is often talking about longer form material, like books, but I wonder if it’s similar to what you’re experiencing.

If so, maybe it’s that your drafts lack something because you’re just trying to get all the words out.
