You can have one big purpose in relation to the blog overall, and lots of different purposes running along and playing out in different posts... but I'd stick to one per piece of writing, and get into the state or the frame of mind to achieve that one before you start to write. Hope that helps Joanna Brad, yes, I think you’ll get more impact (and more satisfaction) if you focus on one purpose in relation to each post.

If I understand you right you mean don't make purpose or intention a limitation on your creativity, but give it the space to flow and create, to take you to new & unimagined places? I'd agree with that... although I might still frame that within a purpose or intention (to create, to express, to explore, to marvel) Thanks for stopping by and taking time to add to this conversation Joanna Hi Mark, and thanks for your comment.

Quite often I'll approach a post with a mixture of several of the intentions you catalog. Too vague! Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on one purpose?

As a more natural talker than writer, writing plops me into left-brain mode and conscious intentionality can go pffft pretty fast!
