Day in the Life of an Idiot

Wow, that essay is an extended description of an entire view of the world that I am so desperately glad I don't have. It sounds utterly miserable to be constantly worrying about the return on your "hustle" and measuring your commercial audience for everything you do.

I guess I agree with it to the tentative degree that running a blog with a strict schedule of posting as a business endeavor and a form of advertising is probably not a great return on investment. But that's utterly so not why I blog. Hopefully that's not why most authors feel like they need to blog?

I just want to chat with people about interesting things and get ideas out of my head and understand what I think about something a bit better through the exercise of writing it down.
