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.

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?
Yes
Well, there's a thought! Thanks!

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 want to see it
