Andrew Sullivan has become one of my favorite bloggers. He revolutionized the way it was done and how people interact with politics. I agree with what he says here. Seeing the evolution of thoughts on a topic in real time certainly makes the writing process better. When a paper or a book is published, it goes through a long process of revision. Many edits are made along the way. Even ideas change during the editing process. However, while the research process is happening, lots of evidence is collected, some of it really cool, and then discarded in the final product. This happens for various reasons, but having that extra link with the audience where those "left out" pieces can be shared is great part of the writing process. I hope to accomplish that in this space.
