Why I'm Writing About Writing (And Why Here)

 I've been talking (and writing) about writing for a long while, across a variety of platforms and mediums. 

The reason why is simple - I like to help people. And with writing, which is a skill/art that I think is slowly but surely dying, I'm doing what I can to inspire people. And by inspire, what I mean is 'to show people what they can do if they disregard considerations like hunting for subscribers and seeking monetization'. 

Getting a bit deeper into it, inspiration comes in two forms:

  • Entertain - show what is possible (and enjoyable), and
  • Educate - show how it's possible
This blog is designed (or at least intended) to inspire. I hope it's entertaining and educational!

Ok - so why am I doing it here? Good question.

After using platforms, such as YouTube, Substack, and Medium, I've realized that chasing subscribers is just something I'm not prepared to do anymore. It's exhausting, often disheartening, and not worth it to me. 

What I want to do is to share here when I want to share in the manner I want to share. I don't want to have this being sent to people's email inboxes. I don't want to have things set on a certain schedule. I'm not interested in all that. 

I'm far happier being some sort of something to be found and enjoyed. This is an Introverted Blog!
