Writing in the open

There is a difference between a thought in your head and a thought you have to write down for strangers. The second one has to hold together. It cannot hide behind a vague gesture.

So I write in the open, not because every post is finished, but because the act of finishing it teaches me something. The gaps show up when you try to fill the page.

Most of these posts will be read by very few people. That is fine. The discipline is mine to keep, whether or not anyone is watching.
