- It's a fun way to chronicle my life. There are times when I look back at photos, facebook posts and other digital debris, and it's nice to have these "artifacts," as Joe Crawford calls them. Most of blog-thoughts have evolved into facebook-thoughts, and it's not altogether the best thing. Plus, looking back to see only 3 entries for 2015? That makes me sad, bubba!
- I need conversations to work things out in my head. This blog is nothing so much as a conversation with myself, and helps my "flow."
- I'm finding that free-writing can be good for creativity, and I need help getting some jokes written. There are few things more satisfying to me than putting together a promising new joke.
- And finally, sometimes I really like writing and the things I write. I feel surprisingly unashamed at the sound of my typewritten voice.
On the other hand, I really don't like writing about how I should be writing; it quickly becomes annoyingly self-referential. But, I do like that I've come back here and scratched something on the ol' cave wall. Little steps, little steps...
