#015: I Started Writing 6 Months Ago

Hey guys!

At the time I am writing this issue, I started this newsletter six months ago with Square One.

Six months.

Not very long, but I’m pretty freakin’ proud of myself.

I’m not saying I was 100% consistent, but I’m happy I’m still here.

And that you’re still here.

But… I’ve been doing all the ranting, so it’s about time I ask what interests you?

I would appreciate it if you answered this little poll:

And while we’re here, have you ever thought about writing? If the idea has crossed your mind, I’m here to say, go for it!

In this fast-paced world of video, I’ve grown fond of the written word.

I’m reminded of a Bible scripture, “In the beginning was the Word…” and I am well-aware I’m about to take it way out of context.

The beginning of every manifested thing—

• the life you want

• the story you imagined

• the movie you want to make

• the family vacation you need to plan

• the business you’ve been thinking about

—is the written word.

Writing requires you to sort your thoughts and refine ideas for clear communication. I’ve become a better thinker and communicator since my commitment to writing for an audience. As a father, my family is better off for it.

Don’t get me wrong, journaling is great. But I challenge you to step it up. Whether it’s a newsletter, on X, or LinkedIn, I highly recommend it.

If you've considered it, but haven’t taken the leap, I would love to know what’s stopping you!

If you’ve already started your writing journey, I’d love to connect and follow on whatever platform you’re on.

Have an amazing week (and write about it)!
