I’ve gotten a ton of email about my post from last night.
Almost all of it has been encouraging. To those readers who have emailed or tweeted me, thank you. It’s nice to know some fine-looking nerds on the Internet have my back.
The word “brave” has been used over and over in people’s responses. Each time I read it, I wince a little.
I don’t see as what I do here as brave. It’s easy to sit behind a MacBook Air, sipping a drink while typing. Sure, hitting that “Send to Blog” button in MarsEdit can be a little nerve-wracking, but it usually isn’t too scary.
For me, bravery is talking to people in “real” life about these things. I suck at that.
