This is mostly where I am. I do read through my entry, once typed, looking for spelling errors and poor phrasing, but I don't give it the heavy edit that anything intended for real publication sees. I generally filter on what I think people would be interested in reading, though I do also have a few more private filters. I write for my audience in that I try to present interesting discussion topics and anecdotes, and I kill about 25% of my proto-entries as "too boring, no one cares". (Dear LiveJournal, today I went grocery shopping. I got eggs, orange juice, and kale. The kale was on sale! Hey, kale rhymes with sale!) But I don't hesitate to discuss something that I genuinely find interesting out of fear that no one else will like it. (Dear LiveJournal, today I read a fourth-century text in Latin that discussed the relationship between Christianity and Roman religion...)
