This daily public affirmation has a blog.
Oh, so you’ve figured it out? A little more than forty-odd posts into my persistent writing of these little public missives about my creative explorations right here every weekday and perhaps you are sitting there pondering the point of two hundred words of indulgent affirmation.
I could justify it. I could try and convince you that there was some marketable value inherent in such a prospect, despite that most pursuers of profit have moved onto bigger platforms. I could point at the personal brand value of exploratory concepts in words and sounds and images. I could brag about some hidden big-picture strategy towards a long term personal creative goal.
I could. I won’t. It would all be a lie.
Why do musicians play scales?
Why do runners log training runs?
Why do chefs trial recipes?
Why do dogs howl at the moonlight?
The answer is practice. The answer is habit. The answer is instinct and drive and compulsion to create and make and share and then makes some more. The answer is doing without expectation of audience or purpose or influence or flex. The answer is accountability to self and ideas. The answer is human and even more than that, the answer is universally personal.
