Turn on the Magnet
There are more reasons to write than there are letters in the alphabet. Some are more inward-facing — it helps you reflect, filter your thoughts, and structure your emotions — others have more external affects on this material plane we call reality.

There are more reasons to write than there are letters in the alphabet. Some are more inward-facing — it helps you reflect, filter your thoughts, and structure your emotions — others have more external affects on this material plane we call reality.
Someone recently asked me: “What’s the biggest advantage of writing online?” My answer: “You’ll turn on the magnet.”
When you put yourself out there, vulnerably sharing a piece of creative, original work on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, you take risk — but you also build a reputation. Reputation is like a magnet for power-ups: It attracts the help you need to achieve whatever you’re trying to do. The longer you keep the magnet “on,” the stronger it will become. Reputation compounds, and so the longer you share your thoughts, ideas, and creations online, regardless of the format, the easier your life will become.
