Writing is hard work for me. I do it sometimes, and when I spend ridiculous amounts of time on it, it’s so fantastic that a few people who are nice to me and don’t want to hurt my feelings sometimes say niceish things about my too-long ramblings. But it’s still hard work.
The problem is, I have stuff to say. My brain goes way faster than I can type. It probably goes faster than I can talk, too, but I think I talk better than I type. Is that true? It’s certainly easier for me to talk. Hence this question:
Should I turn this into an audio and/or video blog? Or, should I dictate and have someone transcribe and edit for me? … as if I could find a volunteer for *that*. Hah! Just thinking out loud here. Maybe one of you could nudge me in the right direction?

I like the writing part – makes it easier to go back and re-read sections. though hearing the sound of your voice would be nice, too!
Writing vs Spoken
Varrin,
You need to think about how much time it would take to record audio that you would want to make public. Maybe you can speak off the top of your head well enough that the content would be as good as what you write. However, if it was me, I know that without significant preparation the result would be somewhat rambling and confused. Maybe not bad but not as well organized as something I would write.
Audio vs Video
I strongly prefer audio. I got an iPod to listen to podcasts when I am doing things that do not require my full attention but that I need my eyes for. Driving, doing home maintenance, cleaning things including firearms, etc. I have little time to spend watching video.
Between here, the FB comments, and other feedback, sounds like writing is a better idea. I just need to quit being lazy 😉
