Subnostr

I almost bought a domain last night. It would have been for a product I would never create, because I don't really create products. I think it might have been an affinity play, being able to flash a domain that sounds nostr-y.

But that clearly isn't what I need.

I think Nostr is making it clear that I like writing, and thinking, and explaining, and writing about what I'm thinking and explaining.

I've never trained as a writer professionally. I've been poking around at it a little over the last few years, I tried a Medium blog. I think I ran out of material to cover pretty quickly, and I was spending as much time sorting out the art as I was writing my articles.

Apperently there may be a need here to write NIPs, PRs, even just documentation. Maybe here is where I could be of service.

I think it is something I could learn quickly, and improve at with some simple pointers and feedback.

Maybe I just found my own product market fit - for now.

How do you train as a writer “professionally” ? All the best communicators I know got there just by writing a lot and learning how to write well (in most cases that means saying more with fewer words)

I think that is my struggle in a nutshell, I tend to either be verbose or dense.

I believe training is implicit in anything we attempt seriously. I'm not a published writer (simce my high school newspaper), and writing isn't explicitly part of my current fiat job responsibilities (outside of writing professional emails and other customer and internal communication).

So if I am to pursue technical writing as my value add, I will need to train and improve. That is all. Right now, reading advice articles on writing good PRs.
