Why Jonas still blogs after fifteen years

Jonas Hietala:

15 years is a long time; longer than I’ve been waiting for Winds of Winter, and that wait has felt like an eternity. How did I—who frequently abandon projects for the next shiny thing—manage to continue this blog for so long?

Enjoyed this introspective post from Jonas on his decade-and-a-half journey in blogging. What stood out to me is how upfront he is about how important an aspect working on the tooling is. Perhaps just as important as the writing itself.

I think — if you're so inclined to care about the tooling aspect — embracing this duality is important for longevity.
