#2Indeed. Traditional writing is hard. I like the idea of Piece Writing. Also I found a little bug on your blog. When you click the title. Instead of redirecting you to the main website it sends you to localhost:8080

#4I don't understand what the author thinks of as "traditional writing" since what is described as "piece writing" is pretty much how I learned traditional writing in school (copyediting is a distinct activity from writing, and revising isn't as much reworking an existing piece as writing a new piece with a similar intent to an existing piece drawing on the experience of having written the earlier piece -- and possibly incorporating some of the component pieces included in that existing piece.)
Also: lower case letters exist for a reason. All caps may be okay for headlines sometimes, but its not okay for paragraphs of body text.

Hey dragonwriter. I think that I did a poor job of explaining what I meant by 'traditional writing'.
I consider the traditional writing process to be a mashup of writing and editing, whereas piece writing allows you to focus on just writing.
Agreed.. But I read somewhere that the occasional all caps in an iTunes description can help people figure out what your app actually does, so I broke convention :p

FWIW, I've often heard admonishments to refrain from editing while working on a first draft.
