Matt's thoughts on meaning and writing

Matt Lakeman:

Many people have asked me why the hell I spend so much time writing for free on the internet and that’s the honest reason. It helps me remember. I hope a lot of people read my work, but if they don’t, that’s ok.

Discovered Matt's blog the other day. (Thanks Michael.) It is a treasure trove of deep thinking and nuanced perspective, and I've only just begun to scratch the surface of Matt's vast library.

His thoughts on writing from more than four years ago stood out to me immediately. As the year comes to a close, it is a timely reminder of why the act of writing is important.
