“What do you write about?”

My uncle asked me this last night, I’m over 16 years into writing and I still struggle to answer this question precisely. Sure, I can put the highlights all in one place. Here’s an attempt to catalogue everything that’s caught my interest right now:

  • Creative Doing is a compendium of exercises to unblock your creativity. I also write about creativity in this category at my blog
  • Best of Books is a newsletter in which I recommend three great books each month
  • Creator Confidential is a collection of essays I write about the experience of making things as a “creator” on the internet (see also this piece on the creator dream)
  • Expectations is a working title for a research project I’m embarking on about how our expectations and perceptions of the world influence the actions we take (or don’t take). Because that’s a theme of the TV show Ted Lasso, I’m also writing about it here (#1, #2, #3), though it’s getting messy and I ought to split it up into its own thing. 
  • Contentions is a collection of essays about my opinions on the field of technology and software marketing
  • Life is a place where I document my evolving worldview and practice

There’s a lot more where that came from (how does one summarize 16 years of writing?!), though that’s a concise answer. This blog is where I make sense of everything!
