A Welcome Note
Hello and welcome! Iāve been flirting with writing, and blogging specifically, for years. One issue that Iāve run into over and over is feeling like I needed Something To Say, or that each post had to be āperfect.ā It was too easy to get stuck in my head, stall out, and lose momentum. Lately Iāve been thinking about starting up again, but I want to do so in a way that doesnāt set me up for another round of that cycle. So Iām setting an intention with this blog, and setting expectations too: these posts will be rough, mostly links to things Iāve read/watched/enjoyed, sometimes with commentary, sometimes not. There may be longer posts with more commentary, or posts that donāt fit the above description at all, but weāll see.
With that in mind, here are some blogs and newsletters from which Iām drawing some inspiration:
- Dan Honās newsletter, Things That Have Caught My Attention
- Russell Davies
- Jen Myersā notes (You may notice that I am also calling this section ānotesā)
- The Scope of Work newsletter
- And, last, but not least, my good friend Matt Baker, whose own blogging aspirations inspired me to kick this little bloglet off. Love you!
