I'd read that... if I cared... /s

But great article. I plan to start a blog soon and just put a mix of things on it. Like technical steps to accomplish stuff. Or photos I took.

Seems like you have that here with your posts to discuss.online.

Yes, I was going to say I thought about making a personal community here for it. I've encouraged people to create blogs here. However, I might want tagging. I setup jasongr.im with Ghost Blog but I've not decided what I'm doing exactly yet.

Isn't your Mastodon instance set up? Use hashtags.

What do you mean? Post via utter.online?

that I started recently. I'm writing article two right now. I won't plug it because I'm not selfish like that, but if you want to see, let me know.

It's not selfish to share about yourself. It's selfish not to.

I wish I had kept a journal in my youth. I'm personally too private to post a blog. But I agree with the main points of this. Creative writing can be a source of joy and engagement; it's own reward. It doesn't have to be a best seller or literary masterpiece to be worth it. I had a great time writing a book for fun. Other than two friends I shared it with, it will never again see the light of day. But it was a wonderful experience working on it.
