The problem with being attached to where you share your work
On one hand you could stick with sharing your work on a blog because that is what you know, are good at and are familiar with.

The idea that we intentionally ruin things for ourselves is fascinating but also odd because despite causing the mess we often end up surprised, sad or angry that it happened.
