Every now and then I get this big hope to post daily again somehow. I think Seth Godin’s blog brings me to it. Another part of me just wants to do something often with my new piece of tech. But right now, I just want to write and to post it somewhere, anywhere.
The first time I posted daily for a period of time was when I had my first iPad in 2019. This wasn’t my first first iPad, but it’s the one I bought for myself, with my own money. It was the year I was going to leave SYFC and go into bible school, and I wanted to have something portable, and I wanted to draw on the different Reach editions coming through my hands.
The daily writing only started in Bible School, or maybe it was even during the COVID period specifically. I remember being super inspired creatively to just write everyday, and I did it for a period of time.
The second time I posted daily was after being super inspired by Seth Godin. I thought it was so cool to have a daily blog that was a small little hint of some wisdom or another, and to have that as a part of the internet somewhere. So I had short posts for a period of time.
I think this is my third time, but I want to post now because I think I like the discipline of writing daily. I say that, but in my physical hands I have a 5 year hobonichi, and I have a weeks mega, and next year I’ll be starting the actual hobonichi A6 size. In non-geek speak, it means I have 3 daily diaries to maintain.
So why the digital one to attempt once more? My thoughts are different when I post them here, and I want to have a portion of my brain that is willing to just express something for online use and understanding. I also miss being courageous enough to just post something again. I lost it for a bit while making posts for Medium, thinking about monetisation and all that. My physical diaries are totally for personal use, and I don’t think I can actually read most of what I write. It’s just for that brain dump, the physical release of writing by hand.
I hope to come back tomorrow with something to share at least. Just one idea or thought. Whether it’s worth it, it’s up to whoever’s reading it. I hope it’s worth something.
