I imagine that everyone who writes online started with only a subconscious inkling of why they wanted to do it. Then, through the act of doing, I imagine that their "why" comes into perspective. I discovered a joy for writing in 2008, and I've been returning to it in one form another for the last 12 years. Despite the effort, I had nothing to show for it. No portfolio, no Medium account, nothing to share.
That's a wonderful perspective.
For one, it keeps your inner compass in check to record advise that you feel good enough for your own kids and family.
And, it can also act as a anti-procrastination lever to push through and publish consistently.
Thanks for writing this.
Wow... Great!
Great perspective!
