Extract from Ryan McClead’s article “The Phantom Post”
About a year ago something happened to me professionally that really set me off. I fired up my laptop and spewed all of the venom in my heart into a ranty draft blog post. Before posting it, I sent it to a few people for review. They all agreed I’d been wronged. Several encouraged me to publish immediately, a few suggested I should give it some more thought.
I was going through some personal difficulties at the time and I feared that some of my vehemence may have been misplaced anger, so I shelved the piece. I left it in the drafts bucket on the blog and there it sat until last week.
