I want to write more. And publish what I’m writing more, not worrying about meeting some high bar before publishing.

For one, writing helps me think clearly. Personally, I don’t “think” in words, but without turning my thoughts into words in some (human/computer) language I can’t communicate it to others. And by converting the idea to a form others can understand, I also understand it better as a result.

Secondly, writing moves my unfinished ideas out of my brain where they’re distracting me, into a location where I may forget about it and move on. Unprocessed thoughts, e.g. because I’ve not felt like I’ve taken in news etc., are very distracting. By taking 5 minutes to write down my thoughts, I can move on from the distracting thoughts.

Thirdly, by choosing to publish what I’m writing, I’m hoping to attract more like-minded people. It’s not easy to make new friends as adults (maybe even as kids these days)? By publishing, I can share the way I’m thinking. Maybe someone finds it interesting / vibe with what I’m saying.

Finally, writing is a form of meditation. Espeically when it’s handwritten. I find myself looking for reliable sources for entering a flow state. Writing by hand, focusing on neat handwriting, works well.

Who knows, if I manage to write enough, my voice can outlive me through AI…

But why would you want that?
