And this from a guy who once had this encounter:

(Nov 8, 2017) "Ma'am, if you don't stop reading over my shoulder, I'll start writing porn. If you're still reading, I'll make it gay porn. Then I'll add animals. If you're still reading after that, I'll ask for your phone number." #WritingInPublic

What One Month of Writing in Public Taught Me

I committed to publishing one article weekly. The hardest part wasn't the writing, but the engagement. Here's what the numbers revealed. #writinginpublic

Today was my personal deadline to send 3 messy sample chapters of my book on conscious relationship design to alpha readers.

I’m not saying whether I hit send.

If you had to guess, do you think I pressed it… and how do you imagine I’m feeling right now? 😅

New episode of The Blank Page Podcast! 🎙️
We talked about why we never face a blank page anymore — and how systems, voice journaling, and a bit of AI can turn chaos into clarity.

I’m holding the piece for now.
Not out of fear—but because timing matters.
Sometimes the wisest thing is to speak when you’re free to be heard.
Soon. But not today.

Writing in public is peaceful, until the world starts shouting things you didn’t ask to hear.

This one’s for the writers who keep going anyway.

Writers, Leaders, & Thinkers—I need your input!

For my book, I’m currently writing about the hidden cost of saying yes.

What’s something leaders should consider BEFORE saying yes to a request? Discuss below.

Recognising friction and responding accordingly as an IC We define Friction as the force resisting the relative motion of our activities. We can also see it as a feeling, what we feel when things are not going the way we expected them to. A feeling of drag.

This week's #writing was very interesting. It came from a discussion with one of our team members. We often find that devs get "stuck" dealing with friction in their work. So this is my attempt to write (draft) down my thoughts about the topic.
