In 2020, I stopped posting articles and notes to the web and withdrew, almost entirely, from social media. I didn’t stop writing – I’ve always maintained a daily writing habit – I just didn’t share my writing.
Over the last five years – last year, 2024, in particular – I’ve tried many times to reboot my brain and start publishing again, but I’ve been unable to do so, paralysed by fear.
I love writing, it sharpens the mind. I also believe that sharing your writing, in public, forces you to level up your thinking. Writing is a powerful habit, I just need to rekindle that habit.
In early February, I heard from Anne-Laure Le Cunff – the founder of Ness Labs and the author of Tiny Experiments – that I’d been accepted to join ‘The Curiosity Collective’, an ephemeral community of ~300 participants exploring The Multiplier Effect of Collective Curiosity.
Being a part of that community has enabled me to ‘bootstrap myself back into existence’ and given me the confidence to start writing again.
I’m incredibly grateful to Le Cunff for inviting me to be a part of the Curiosity Collective experience. Being a part of that community, which is incredibly supportive, has helped me to start once again. For that I am eternally grateful.
