Some observations from writing online

back to all Articles

My writing is largely for me, but there are a number of benefits I have found to building a website and sharing my reflections publicly, online.

• I can access my writing anywhere (that has internet access) without carrying around journals.
• I have built my entire website from scratch - I learned a new skill in the process as I had zero coding experience.
• Building my own website allows me to structure information in flexible ways, that is most useful for me.
• It is satisfying to feel like I'm building something, and being creative.
• It has helped me dampen my fear of publicly sharing my thoughts or ideas.
• The potential for my writing to resonate with other people in the process logically means that it is more valuable to share.
• If my writing doesn't resonate, then I have something to learn from that.
• All of the above points keep me motivated to continue and be consistent.
