It's more fun writing on nostr than in a journal. Written hundreds of thousands of words and have the hardest time publishing anything from it. Back in the day I'd have an idea work on it over a few days and get it out. Many duds but a few winners and sometimes you only know which after years.
So why not just put stuff out and let the global brain figure it out? Ego for one. Ya don't want to get a reputation for putting out garbage, right? Well with few followers that's perfect too because nobody's gonna see anything unless it gets a boost or three. So no need to filter at the beginning. I trust this makes sense.
These days the goal isn't anything but causing many neurons to fire with positivity.
