I started writing because I wanted to accomplish something.

Anything at all.

I thought “writing an article once a week for a year will be an impressive achievement”.

Now that I’m on my 40th something article, (47th to be exact if you count this one), I would not call it impressive.

It’s an achievement for sure. A hard one at that.

But it’s not “impressive”.

Writing 52 GOOD articles would have been impressive.

Every single one, well-written. All tied together with a specific topic and focus.

That does not describe this blog, at least not yet.

What this blog does show though, in a very, very cool way, is my journey becoming a writer.

A writer so cool, that he still uses the word very twice in a row.

In a way, it’s a personal journey that helped me better understand what I enjoy writing about. What I feel comfortable publishing.

I also wrote on social media (specifically LinkedIn), but that writing was meant to manufacture engagement.

Which eventually made it super boring, or I oriented too much towards storytelling and sharing.

Not the same.

This blog allowed me to learn what I was good at writing, and what I also enjoyed about it.

How to better manage and develop a creative process.

Organize my ideas and my time. (Definitely ideas, still not so great at managing time)

It’s also given me a super fun habit that I feel allows me to just freely express myself.

Which in a way, is writing’s best reward.
