Thinking on Paper

I’d like to being using this “space” more as a scratchpad for my thoughts – however uninformed.

The tagline to this blog is “fleeing from ignorance” (a very specific kind – skill-based, though I also mean it more generally), and I’d like to actually implement that.

Writing is an important tool for developing thought, because it forces one to go slowly – to step back and think things through a little more. This blog was originally created as a tool to just that; focus my thinking. However, it has lain fallow due to my failure to incorporate it into my “way of life.”

I am aware that I have made this post before, and I doubtless will again. I am reminded of the Mark Twain quote “Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it a thousand times.” In this case, it is the reverse: Starting a blog is easy. I’ve done it thousands of times!

More importantly, perhaps, is that it doesn’t manner how many times you try – it only matters how many times you succeed.

I’ll try to keep that in mind.
