Why I Write
I write to think. Writing forces the half-formed idea into a sentence, and the sentence into something I can defend, share, or throw out. The page is the cheapest place to find out what I actually believe.
What I Write About
I write about what I am living through: building, reading, traveling, working with people, making decisions under uncertainty. The best essays start as a problem I am actually trying to solve.
How I Write
I draft fast and edit slow. The first pass is a brain dump — wrong sentences are still useful sentences. The second pass cuts everything that does not earn its place. The third pass reads it aloud.
What I Look For
I look for the line that surprises me, the example that lands, and the distinction that I had not seen written down before. If a paragraph could have been written by anyone, it gets cut.
Where to Go Next
Start with the essays, then follow the writing thread through the newsletter — that is where ideas get tested before they become polished work.
