Why I’m starting a blog
Published:
If you knew me in my HKS days, you may remember me as “a writer”. I took most courses the school had to offer on the subject – Writing on Policy and Politics, Op-Ed Writing, Feature Writing and Speechwriting – and even started up a student group dedicated to the practice. Of course, to be a writer, you actually have to write. Regularly. Outside of when professional necessity impels, I have been sadly slacking on that front since graduation. So I guess this blog is a commitment device, a container for thoughts that drives them forward towards better writing (forgive the mixed metaphors). In short, I need to get the reps in.
