I haven’t written a regular blog for years — not since I started writing more polished articles for places like The Conversation, and was seduced by the lure of writing trade books. And of course, social media has changed the whole dynamic around online communication, leaving blogs feeling a little long in the tooth.
And yet, I’ve missed the chance to keep an online log of my thoughts and ideas, or simply what’s going on in my life. And so I thought it would be an interesting experiment to get back into the habit of regular writing — as much as a weird combination of therapy and writers discipline as anything.
These, then, and really my notes to self — snippets of thoughts, ideas and reflections that I find useful to collect for my own use, but that others are free to peruse if they so wish.
Unlike pretty much everything else I write, I’m writing for myself here, not for others. Of course, you’re welcome to browse through and read the posts — they are, after all, out there where anyone can find them. But at the end of the day, this is my personal reflection space, that just happens to be public!
