I’m the worst person to ask what I do. And you’re the worst person to ask what you do. Because we’re just about the only people we don’t do and never will do what we do to. (Dancing sentence, there. I like it).
When I was at The Do Lectures recently, people I knew introduced me to other people as a writer. A writer of snacky things that make people think. Or words to that effect. Even though I’m not brave enough to introduced myself as a writer.
Granted, The Do Lectures is a unique place. But it made me think that we might not know what we are most valued for. And that all this polishing and posturing we get into, around presenting what we think we do, may very well be a waste of time.
So if you want to know what you really do. Ask those you do it to.
