I’ve had a personal website of one kind or another since 1996. The current iteration was started in 2015, and was intended to get me writing again, and was focused on my travels when I became a digital nomad for 18 months at that time. Since then, unfortunately, I have mostly let it stagnate. I use my site primarily as a mechanism to centerpoint other things I do online now, like photography, however I don’t create as much as I used to. I am hopeful I will have time to write more in the future, but in some respects the topics I want to write about I have preferred to keep private, because if someone disagrees with you in the age of social media you face life-altering repercussions rather than an interesting dialogue. I still write at least monthly, but do so in a private journal by hand with pen and paper. I mostly write because I believe writing is thinking, and because I tend to have fleeting thoughts I want to capture and if I don’t write them down they’ll simply disappear. When I first got into writing online, doing so always created interesting conversations. Now, that is much rarer, so that is likely another reason I publish less of what I write.
