Short Thoughts

Short thoughts are brief pieces of writing that each focus on one little idea.

The concept is inspired by Seth Godin and Derek Sivers. Both encourage would-be writers to consistently share short pieces of writing.

Not every piece of writing should be an article.

Where an article is warranted, sometimes we don’t have all the pieces to make it compelling. And yet some things deserve to be put 'out there'. Sivers suggests we "present a single idea, one at a time, and let others build upon it."

This interweaves nicely with Godin championing consistency.

The drip. A post, day after day, week after week, 400 times a year, 4000 times a decade.

So here I publish short thoughts - longer than a tweet, shorter than an essay.
