What Jamie wrote
I've been writing on the internet in various forms for two decades and I have enjoyed the process and the outcomes. Hopefully a few of you have enjoyed it to. I love this call to action specifically about writing, but in general creating. Taking time to create is important.
Before proceeding further, I must make one thing clear. While I personally prefer writing, the message here is to create stuff.
Create art, design album covers, shoot vlogs, record podcasts, write code. The focus is on creation, and becoming a creator in a world where most people are only consuming.
Yes. Spending time creating is good for your brain, good for your network, and good for your community.
The only way to become a valuable node is by pushing/publishing/releasing value into the web. But like an ocean, a drop won’t be noticed by anybody. You need a pond where you can make a splash.
This is a great reason to create a home and start playing. A blog or newsletter is an amazing place to start.
