Currently reading: Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett 📚
“A well-designed life is a marvelous portfolio of experiences, of adventures, of failures that taught you important lessons, of hardships that made you stronger and helped you know yourself better, and of achievements and satisfactions. It’s worth emphasizing that failures and hardships are a part of every life, even the well-designed ones.”
I'm still having trouble deciding how I want to use this blog. I really like the idea of making short posts - that makes writing less intimidating. The fear caused by the blank page can be paralyzing. At the same time, I'm not sure that I just want to produce pithy tweets to be fed into syndication, either. Maybe I will want to write a lot, maybe a little. And should I put titles on everything, or let the posts be defined by their temporality?
I think that I mostly want to put fleeting thoughts here. Over time, there will be a continuum of little ideas and expressions. I'll reserve longer and more polished articles for other venues. The emphasis should be on building a regular writing habit. Small posts make that easier.
