I already wrote and deleted 3 opening lines to this comment so I think I get where the conclusion is coming from. Maybe it has to do a bit with how much of the piece of writing is finalized or I guess put in order in your head before starting writing it.

I tend to have an abstract, unfinished thought on a subject and just start working it out while typing. Maybe I'm thinking linearly I dont know. But at some point I may hit a roadblock or change my mind and then go back and rewrite most of the previous material. It's why I rarely comment, it takes me a while. So if this time is included in the writing, when it really is idea formulation and research then the time required to get to 300 words skyrockets.

In the context of a blog, especially if you aim for a certain style,flow etc I guess this is even more prominent. The more time you spent writing for the specific goal the better (an faster) you will get at it I suppose, but still I think some people just have a way of thinking that more robustly tranlates to text. In the sense that you can link sentences like you link thoughts and get to a conclusion rather via a well articulated piece rather than what I (and possibly the op) get which is a mess of sentences referencing different points in the cognitive process that may just get to a dead end.
