Well maybe. In high school I knew I couldn't write that great so rather then writing a ton of little blog entries I tried to take time to write full essay type entries that I could polish a bit (they were still horrible looking back). Over the years my writing has improved and some of that can be attributed to all the blog entries I wrote (or started to write).
