Why write? Why publish?

I write mostly for myself. I find that writing helps me elucidate my thoughts and makes me think. More than anything, I enjoy writing, so I will write. The question then is why share my writing? I have no misconceived ideas of fame–I don’t expect that many people would read anything I write. That’s just how it goes. But I don’t care; I’m putting myself out there on the off chance that someone enjoys it, so I can force myself to edit something before publishing, so I can motivate myself to write out things I’ve learnt and hopefully so others can learn from them too. I write for my own sake, and I publish for my own sake too. That’s why this very post is for future me–for me to remember why I started doing this in the first place. For fun.

Hope you enjoy.
