I'm bored of reading copy on everyone's blog.

Writing doesn't feel personal anymore. Even when I read people writing their personal story, it reads like:

I grew up like sh*t.
I didn't let it stop me.
I won.

It's manufactured. It's fake. Even when it's true, it's not real.

Writing should be proactive.
It should evoke feelings and paint a picture.
It should arouse sensation.

Even technical blogging (at least for the web) should have some personality.

I love Wikipedia. But why is half of Medium written like it?

It would be great to go back to a time when everyone didn't have a masterclass in blogging and copy. I want to read walls of text, carefully drizzled with emphasis and character. I want perfect imperfection.

That kind of writing is probably great for those who just want to get to the point. Scroll to the header they need, scan first and last sentences— but then why write at all.

I guess it works and I'm the minority of people who wants to relate to you and what you're saying in a meaningful way.

Where are YOU in your writing?
