Writing for connection
It helps me to consider my writing as a bid for connection with the reader. I'm pointing something out, asking for joint attention.
It doesn't have to be an earth-shattering new idea or the most exciting piece of content ever. It's just a small moment that we share.
Absolutely love the take from Marcel quoting Steven Pinker. I write to connect and to think. Something about our words touching others and making the world a little smaller.
