AceJohnny's Journal: writing vs publishing

I realize that this is the third post in a couple of days. I know that nobody reads this, but at this point it doesn't matter.

Why?

Because what's important to me is the need to express myself. That this doesn't reach anybody, that I get no feedback, is not important to the psychological mechanisms that make me write this. The only act of writing it down is enough to satisfy the urge. Anything else is bonus.

In fact, I believe that the important aspect of writing this is just to articulate my thoughts. As long as they stay in my mind, they are a confused mess. Only by writing it down can I see whether they make any sense.

Maybe I'm just fooling myself. Of course, if it gets to the point that I have to write it down, the thoughts are already articulate enough.

I had previously disabled comments here, mostly to illustrate my point. Seems some people overlooked that. :)
