Writing and editing

Since I’m talking about writing and editing this week…

Sohrab Ahmari is a wonderful writer and speaker. I always try to catch every interview and podcast because he always teaches me something new. Every interview has several Aha! So that’s why! moments.

He publishes Compact Magazine, and I eagerly tried reading and subscribing for a while. It’s not worth the effort or the cost. One new article each day, and most are either trivial or drab. Instead of Aha! moments, those articles have Hmph. I’ve said it better moments.

Writing and editing are not the same skill, just as designing and managing designers are not the same skill.
