I certainly do not think myself a good writer. I have certainly always enjoyed writing. What has spurred me to write is not so much some great truth I need to expound, but the simple daily task of writing. Processing thoughts and putting them on paper–or a blog. I certainly prefer writing and journaling in analog. I do that daily. However, the analog aspect does not offer the accountability that writing in a public forum does. I have no issue with you telling me I’m a horrible writer. Go for it. I’m looking to refine my craft. A little bit better every day. Even .1%–or less?
I remember I started reading Seth Godin years ago. I don’t have a cool blog name like he does. I don’t agree with his take on many areas. But that’s not the point. What has impressed me about the man is his absolute discipline in writing. Every day. For years. Decades at this point. The daily discipline of writing is perhaps more important than getting it right every time. Because I won’t. I already know that. This blog is to keep me accountable. I’ll write about a wide variety of topics. I wanted to have a fancy separate site, but for the time being, I’ll keep it right here.
I’m starting here and now. You’ll likely disagree with me on an occasion. You’ll not read even 10% of what I write. And that’s fine. But I welcome you to this blog, journal, what-have-you, and trust that you won’t let the little things in life keep you from doing what you need to. Day after day. Giving your best and perfecting your craft–whatever it might be.
