When you write about your work, it makes all of us smarter for the effort, including you—because it forces you to go beyond the polite cocktail-party line you use to describe what you do and really think about the impact your work has.
Done well, it means you’re contributing signal, instead of noise.
The above makes me think of all the creativity wasted blurting out short snippets on social media. Complete thoughts, in the form of sentences and paragraphs, add value to the world.
