Why bother?

Why bother write and share these posts?

I can think of a few hundred reasons off the top.

A year from now—assuming I can keep up my current pace—I’ll have almost 400 blog posts with my name on them.

That’s hundreds of ideas that came from my mind, plastered on the walls of the internet for current and future collaborators, clients, and employers to find.

Hundreds of reminders to my immediate network about who I am, what I do, how I think, and hopefully some positive impressions about my writing ability, my unmatched intelligence and wit, and my humble demeanor.

Hundreds of reps, building my skills and my confidence to be able to claim the title of writer or author, without hesitation.

Hundreds of shots to offer a bit of insight or inspiration that could make a difference for somebody.

Hundreds of simple reminders that I exist, granting me part-time residence inside your head, rent-free.

In less time than it would take to doomscroll Instagram or Twitter, I’ve brought a new thing into the world that may just make this place a little bit brighter.

So, why not?
