I recently ran a bit of analytics to figure out just how much writing I've done on ServerFault since I started in May 2009. It's imprecise, but the word-count range is a staggering 104K to 156K words. That's a novel. That's a LOT of writing, and nearly all of that has been explaining techical topics to other people. Admittedly, I cheat. I've been blogging since 2004 where I've been doing much the same (my word count there is probably higher, but I don't have the tools to check it). But ServerFault is a great because you get prompts. People ask questions. You give the asnwer and explain and WHY it is the answer. The why part is important.
