I hope all the new Stackers paid attention (and us older ones too).
I do feel like posting and writing are slightly different things, even though the one requires the other.
Because the Stacker News community is so full of interesting perspectives, I'm happy to post things that I'd be interested in discussing with others, even if I haven't fully formed my thoughts on it yet.
A lot of my writing takes place in the discussions that a post generates.

It is! the harder part is how to keep doing it, but then writing or providing value in general is like exercise, once you build up that habit or mindset, it just goes on its own.
Wha a beautiful writing !! Thank you 🙏 I always wanted to learn writing even in my native language. It was always difficult to me to express my ideas simply. Would love to write a book once 😎
happy to know! but then it is not about living the lifestyle, it's about getting control of your life; now that I can travel everywhere I want, but I'm much happier sitting down and learning how to make things, creating is deep happiness. 👀
Solid information for writing in general, not just SN. One of the best University courses I took was Business Communications. The tools, and text book, serve me well 20 years later.
yes, and I'm really curious to see how being a writer would work in the Bitcoin standard, now that ppl finally can focus on writing itself, and are free to explore whatever interests them.
I think about it kind of like the internet. You know how the internet allowed people with certain niche interests to find each other? Now with Bitcoin and Lightning Network payments, the money can also flow along these 'channels'. It frees us from the limitations of what the media feeds us. Something we hear so much in Bitcoin is how the incentives change everything. I think this is a perfect example. I think you're on to something - writing will change.
I like your work and your writing style, it is simple, concise and entertaining, even more admirable that you write in a language that is not your mother tongue. Keep writing and publishing! You are also absolutely right when you say that you only write when you feel in the mood, that makes your words calmer and your work more bearable, as when you write under pressure, the ideas do not flow in the same way. Thanks for the tips, examples and your anecdotes. You don't know me, but the first time I read you I felt inspired, and I said wow, I want to follow your example, I really want to take off the chains that bind me to start the nomadic life that I have wanted so much for 10 years, you encourage me ( even if you don't know it) to continue working and fighting for my dreams
impressive post, I am very happy for your achievements, I have realized that to write better you also have to read a lot, this is something very important I think
I used to be a productivity nerd and I was playing with Roam Research before Obsidian was even launched - I then tried it for a while due to you can use this offline, aka better privacy, but then at the end of the day, I decided to leave all these fancy tools because there is always something NEW, while all I want is focus on writing.
Masters can cook amazing dishes with simple tools, while amateurs keep getting distracted by the tools, but of course, pick whatever works for you then stick with it instead of keep thinking that you need better tools.
share good stuff + zap the good stuff early.
