If you love to write, then digital writing might feel wrong 🚢 For the last two weeks, I have been doing a digital writing cohort class with #ship30for30. The instructors know their domain and the course is highly structured. It delivered, but I still struggled to find joy 🧵Permalink On twitter.com

I still love the idea of social writing! How could I integrate conflicting intrinsic and extrinsic motivations? Tenets help me navigate the tension between competing goal propositions. Here are 5 tenets for digital writing (which also work for my podcast): 👇Permalink On twitter.com

4) Effective AND/OR affective Twitter especially seems to be a weird mix of how-to shortcuts and trolling or flame wars. It’s pretty clear that trolls and 'experts' have a weird ability to suck people in and keep them. I will prefer a diverse mix of voices in my echo chamber.Permalink On twitter.com
