Writing Again

Standard Notes really wants us to use Listed and seems quite convinced that we'll write on this platform more than others. I'd be genuinely curious why.

Anyway, writing. I write a lot of emails, text messages, guides, synopses, social media posts (and comments), but I rarely write long-form for creative or recreational reasons anymore. Clearly something has changed. I used to write all the time, especially when I was a teenager and while I had my video games, the distractions available to me weren't so multitudinous. My access to the web at the time was tenuous due to being on a first 56k dialup, then a 2.5/5 star DSL which was less than reliable even for the time and place. That made my access to the web tenuous. Maybe that's part of why I don't write so often. I didn't have as many distractions or leisure activities at my disposal. Paths of lesser resistance than putting my mind to writing something.

I guess today is different.

I wonder how else I've changed.
