It seems like an eon ago I was struggling to launch my first online writing challenge. It was only 4 days ago. 16 people are writing every day. They’ve created so far about 60 articles. In an exercise to produce 100 ideas each we ended up creating more than 1’000 ideas. What I was thinking to be a group of people exploring light ways to create revealed itself as an exceptional mix of sharp minds and deep hearts.
I am astonished and a bit overwhelmed. Where will this lead? It’s a powerful life experiment that will have a profound impact on a few lives. Mine, for sure.
The outcome of my daily writing habit brought his fruit, this week also, I’ve split my publishing between creazee.com and curatella.com. For your convenience, these are my recent articles:

This time, I have two accomplishments to share with you.
Another Daily Writing Challenge Completed!
With friends from Ness Labs, I have been blogging for 28 days straight. Not that I have ever stopped since my first challenge, but it was entertaining to have peers writing with me.
The final rush was composed of the same articles taking me to have written 118 pieces in a row.
There is a strong parallel between the characteristics and the influences of physical places on our lives and what worlds of information living in immaterial di…

On top of the continuity, you need to create valuable content. When is the right time to assess what you have written?
I am Launching MY Writing Challenge: CREAZEE, uh?
The best news of the week is that I am launching my Writing Challenge. I’ve been receiving the interest of a few people wanting to build a habit of writing daily, and I thought it would have been nice to have a community of challengers to play with.

Writing About Writing
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have somebody listening to you when you have something to say? Pleased to meet you.
You can change your future by acting today. Rather than focusing on an abstract person in an intangible setting, think more about your future self.
When you build a habit of writing every day, you have a part of your brain reserved for a fixed thought. You have to write. Write, now.
Change the context of those lessons learned that you cannot share. And share the knowledge without betraying your friends. Use abstraction to tell a story.
I am celebrating my 100 daily blog posts in a row, and I’ve taken some time to reflect on what it means and how it could drive my future choices. I had a great experience in trusting other brains with my challenges as they did themselves with mine. It gave me the right motivation to think about transforming my daily writing habit into a learning experience—more on this in the following weeks. I’ve decided to recognize my tendency to write about writing. It will drive the reorganization of content on my website. And, finally, I had some real-life experience of being in a hospital during pandemic times.
This is a transformative time for me, and I would appreciate your thoughts on what I am doing with curatella.com. What’s resonating with you? What do you want to see more developed? What is constructively changing your thinking?
Hit the reply button and send me a message with your thoughts about it. Now.
I see a thread in my explorations and connections between each adventure. I feel I am charting a known territory while looking at it with my eyes through different lenses. I am quite satisfied with the idea of filling in the blanks in a map to be explored. And I feel even more stimulated by the idea of leaving traces and spaces to connect observations into more significant knowledge objects.
Thanks for your attention.
And don’t forget, there are also minimal, abstract, and sometimes surreal illustrations.
This is our weekly meeting to recap what I’ve been publishing on my blog. I had great experiences meeting new people, exchanging ideas and thoughts with bright minds, and finding the time and the inspiration to make some little drawings.
The recurring topic was: Personal Knowledge Management, what is it and how to do it. I am quite happy with the articles I wrote without research, improvised. I am full of knowledge to be managed! I see a nice continuity in some threads, much less in others. The beauty of non-linear writing is exactly this: connect articles related to the same topics. With time and patience, they will accumulate, and you will have the opportunity to develop them further.
What’s your favorite one? Why? Reply to this email and let me know your interests.
