What this is
The idea for this space has been building in my head for some time. A big part of it is the frustration that I felt in trying to share more of my personal thoughts about building a business on Twitter and Medium. In order to cater to the algorithms that drive curation on these platforms, I could feel my writing style gradually shifting to accommodate. In the end, the thoughts that I were sharing didn't really feel like my own and were hard to distinguish from others whose success I was trying to copy.
As a replacement to these platforms, I've decided to take a bit of a throwback, Web 1.0 approach by creating my own small, personal blog. This feels more authentic and intentional than publishing directly on social media platforms - although I may eventually repost to these platforms from my blog.
My plan is to create a daily writing habit with a couple of paragraphs that put some of my ideas onto paper - as a way to ensure they are captured, work on them and better formulate them into bigger ideas over time, while also sharing them with anyone who is interested. Every couple of weeks, I think there will be room for a larger essay that ties together some of my smaller thoughts, but all of this is still a fluid, work in progress.
Let's see where it goes.
