Getting back into writing

I’ve decided to start writing publicly more. This post saying so will be my first post. It’s the simplest way to start without expending time deciding what to write. I view this as an embodiment of the virtue that you should “just start” by doing the thing. Though, perhaps it’s a grave admission that in this moment, at 3:20pm on a Sunday afternoon, I don’t have any other thoughts to write!

That’s the funny thing about writing. Writing is thinking. You’re expressing your thoughts and you reveal some aspect of that thinking to others. You want to discover and express good thoughts. Maybe after several iterations you end up with something you’re proud to publish. But I’m relaxing my editorial standards for this first post.

The point I’d like to make though, is that I believe now is a particularly good time to be writing more. Writing is thinking. More on that in a future post.
