Why write and (self) publish? Good question, and I’ll expound at length eventually, I’m sure.
For now, I’ll share a brief exchange I had with a good friend who is no longer living. I asked him, “If one feels that one has ideas that could Help Humanity, is one obliged to make an effort to share them?” He said, I think wisely, “It depends on how bad you’ll feel if you don’t.” (He knew I was referring to myself.)
Well, I don’t feel terrible failing to share, but it does bother me at least enough to make some effort. Fortunately, now that I’ve finally set up the basics of WordPress, I can focus 98% of the effort on the actual writing, and very little on the mechanics, which is great.
