I started a blog -- a blog, in 2017 -- on a subject I didn't think anyone else would care about. Against all odds, it became kind of a hit and led to speaking and writing experiences (I'm not rich yet, but I have an actual audience now, and that counts for a lot).
I'll talk about how I minimized the startup cost, show you my influences (all worth examining themselves), and talk about how I develop posts for my "citizen journalisn't" project.
