If you work hard to learn a craft and even harder to master it, if you put great thought into what you say and who you want to say it to, then there’s no better place to be published than on a website you yourself own.
Or that, despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback and kind regards from readers, no one is actually reading or, even worse, that my words are simply scanned and forgotten.I sympathise with Patrick’s thoughts here, however I think it would be a damn shame if he stopped publishing content on the Internet. I also must confess to having a lot of Pat’s content in Instapaper and Evernote, permanently saved and often referenced.
