Why do I call my blog “Always Better”? Four reasons:
- It should be strictly better than some other activities. Eating popcorn or browsing Reddit, for example: this blog should Always be a Better use of time.
- I Always want to be a Better writer. Better than who? Better than I was yesterday. Better than I was this morning. Better than I’ve ever been.
- It’s a pun for what I wanted to be when I started the blog: Better in All Ways. [1]
- They say creative lives are a gamble. That makes this blog is a bet, which means I’m Always Betting.[2]
[1] I no longer want that. Instead, I’ve turned off improvement in some areas to focus more on the few I care strongly about.
[2] I haven’t fount my creative life particularly gamble-y, but that’s a topic for another time.
