20 Minute Blog.... Can I Do It?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mike McCann - Broker, Mach1 Realty Farm & Commercial Land Broker-Auctioneer Serving Nebraska

My beautiful wife and daughter both Robyn and Jaime I love You both!!think I talk a lot...and they probably say things to each other about my voracious appetite for flapping my jaw!!

I just set (sat?) the timer on my phone and have to leave Kitt's Coffee shop in Kearney, NE in about 23 minutes to go to the aforementioned daughters home and meet with her and a siding company.

I wanted to do a blog this morning but about what?  I looked at my clock on the laptop and said out loud "eureka!  Of course...this is what I need to write about." The three ladies beside me got up and moved their high top a bit farther away!

I have had many folks here on AR encourage me to write more and I would like to if only the timing would work out better. 

I almost flunked Typing in high school...yes I am that old...and I am fairly certain I am slower now than way back last century. At least we have a back button and can make corrections on the computer...otherwise this would look like a different language!

Side note: Had to a coffee refill and lost about 2 minutes...so this will be an 18 minute blog.

Kitt's is full this morning and I love to feed off the energy.  Had their Denver Scramble and it is always one of the best meals in town!  The owners are clients of mine and are a fantastic couple of guys who travel all over the world in search of new coffee varieties...although I admit I usually have the house coffee in the bottomless cup!

Well...I am running low on time so will wrap this up...need to get another photo loaded and then hit the road.  I wish all safe travels and happy days ahead...and hopefully our fog will finally leave us tomorrow!!

Until Next Time...enjoy whatever it is you enjoy...just go for it!

Mike, your spontaneous 20-minute blog challenge is both entertaining and relatable. It's a great reminder of the importance of staying connected with our audience, even when time is short. Keep sharing those real-life moments! #RealEstateLife #ConnectingWithClients ☕🗓️

Hello Mike - at my mom's request, I took typing in junior high school (that goes back so far, they now call it middle school).   I remain grateful that I did. My clumsy fingers and no longer thirteen-year-old brain continue to be a challenge.   I remain amazed by members who publish posts faster than a speeding bullet. 

My blogging regimen continues to change.  Good luck as you produce posts that are quite readable.  Happy Friday.

Happy Friday, Mike
I am glad I learned to be a fast typist. However, I can probably type faster than I think, which isn't necessarily a good thing. LOL 

Enjoy your day!

I’m not a Long winded blogger , so 20 minutes is plenty of time to draft and launch a post

Hi All,  I would probably be a lot faster if I did not make so many errors while typing.  I am pretty surprised I was able to get it done in 20 minutes including uploading the photos.  Thank you all for stopping by!

You know Mike if I did 20 minute blogs I'd probably be writing a lot more and having fun with it too boot!  I think I'll give it a whirl......not not this next 20 minutes as I have a date with 2 pups!  Enjoyed reading yours - refreshing!

That is most impressive, but more practical might be the use of AI and just speak and let it write it for you. Just be sure to leave time for the corrections and mis-understandings.

I think I will have to try a blog using Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 suggestion of AI.  Maybe do the entire blog with AI and see what happens.

Mike McCann Nebraska Land Broker I tried to write a blog post using AI. It was just for fun to see what happened. The article was perfectly fine but had neither heart nor soul. I think it would have taken too long to give it some emotion so I just wrote it myself (as usual!)

hI Mike- you know I love your posts and this one did not disappoint!!!  What is important and something that you do is while your post may be a 20-minute post you did not sacrifice content or visual appeal. 

Please don't use AI to write your posts. We want the real Mike McCann's voice typos and all!!!!!

Your blog was entertaining and reflected your authenticity.  What I have shared with folks, the more you write, the better you think, the better you think, the more you will write And your typing will improve.

Well, I don't know you very well, but it does seem like you can become quite verbose at times, haha.

Hey maybe we should do a challenge where people have to write their blog in 20 minutes and see what we get! Good job getting it done in your allowable timeframe! I hope the appointment at your daughters went well.

Hi Mike,

I am very impressed.  Not only did you beat 20 minutes, you did it in the noisy or distracting atmosphere of a coffee shop!  Again,  impressive!

Thank you all for the visits and comments on this blog and others.  I think I will take Kathy Streib advice and stay away from AI generated blogs...

Mike, I'm also old enough to have taken Typing in high school, and it may have been the class that I got the most use out of, it's not like I solve quadratic equations or need to remember what happened in Ghent very often :)
I've found the more I blog, the easier it typically is to blog when I'm ready.  Bill

Hi Mike:

I'm glad you took on this 20-minute challenge (well, 18 minutes) and I think you did so admirably. And a feature on top of that! Bravo. I never took typing but have, over the years, acquired my own method from having written so much - speed is not the issue, it's the mistakes - thank goodness for that back key and spell check.

Jeff
