005: Not Writing
why create content?
Good afternoon from Chennai, India!
Dont use audio 🎙
In the last week I wrote just one essay. It was on audio as a platform for content creation. Having explored clubhouse and twitter spaces for a while now, I collected my thoughts on how live audio is helping build trust and make new connections.
The essay employs the inversion technique to put across the point. It could have been a lot better but I published it as it was anyway in order to move on to the next challenge.
Why create content?
This is the next challenge. There is no objective answer. However, I am working on a subjective answer for my context by mapping out thoughts that surround this question, rearranging them to identify a flow and hopefully creating a clearer picture.
Part 1: mapping motivation
Part 2: exploring inspiration
Part 3: discovering mechanics
This is where I’ve reached so far. There’s more to come1. The meta-context for the making of this concept map is below:
Motivation: to find my content creation North Star
Inspiration: countless other content creators refining their purpose as we speak
Mechanics: TBD, this should be the outcome of all the thinking and mapping2
A Chat with Visakan Veerasamy 💬
It was a delight to be in conversation with @visakanv on a twitter spaces chat last night. I invited him to have a discussion on content creation and overcoming fear to publish.
Here are a couple of takeaways:
📄 read about the history of pamphleteers
✍🏼 write so much that you fail to recognise your own work
Thank you to everyone who joined in!
Very thoughtful stuff here.
Especially the mind map of your space show with Visa sums up everything clearly
Learned a lot here.
