Michael Ashcroft

I like to write. I separate my writing into two types: essays and notes.

Essays

Essays are my more thoughtful, polished longer-form writing. They're 1500+ words in general.

For the newer pieces this means I've put more thought into structuring and editing them. Some of the early ones would now be notes.

Notes are earlier stage, less polished, fleeting ideas. These are around 500 - 1000 words.

Think of the notebook as a playground or a workshop that you're very welcome to wander around and explore.

I HAVE A NEWSLETTER!

I publish a newsletter called Thinking Out Loud, which chronicles my journey as an online maker of things, but it's also is where I talk about whatever I'm interested in at the time.​ There are about 1500 of us now, come play!
