If it makes you happy to write things and put them out in the world, that's cool too. And that's sort of the bucket I fall into, kind of. I've been really interested in the idea of starting a newsletter for reasons I'm going to explain a little bit later.

Because I have a lot of questions, and there's a lot that I don't know. And when I say a lot, I mean I don't know anything. I have both left brain and right brain questions on this.
