At least for me, those blog posts that become a book are not of very high quality. Very bad actually.
For example, books (at least used to) have editors, and reviews by multiple specialists in the field. I can’t think of distinct step between personal writing and something publishing, so I cannot add meaningful comments to your question.
- phoe-krk 5y agoI've had the book reviewed and edited by several people (mentioned in the front matter), and you're not the first person to complain about the long-winded style. This likely means that we collectively screwed up with regard to the English layer of the book. Thanks for the feedback; I'll let my reviewers/editors know, get this fixed in the second edition, avoid doing that in my future writing.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoPerhaps you could link to one of your books for an example of how it should be done?
- jhgb 5y agoWhile I think that arguments by sglisp could have been much more persuasive, I also tend to think that arguments along the lines of "If you don't like it, show us your own work" are disingenuous. One does not need to be a good baker, or even a baker at all, to recognize and reject stale bread.
