Why I Write

I’ve tried to fool myself many times. Some of them, right here on this blog.

I don’t write to philosophize grandly.

I don’t write to log my piano practice.

I don’t write to show off.

Instead…

I write to clarify my thinking.

I write to tangibly measure my discipline.

I write to share ideas with people - usually, ideas that I wish I’d known years earlier.

I write out of gratitude, because I’m still here. I still have a chance to “make a ruckus”, as Seth Godin might say.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
