The Grit is Back

Once upon a time, Griticism was a podcast. It was “cute.” It was also chaos - mostly chaos. Turns out wrangling my thoughts into “neatly packaged” audio episodes was harder than I expected. After a year of constant recording, editing, A LOT of spiraling about sound quality, and my life blowing up like a cheap firework, it was time to call it quits.

Here’s the thing though - the good grit stuck. The drive to stay accountable and grit my teeth. The itch to share. The compulsion to keep it all in one place. The ‘grit’ words survived. The grit•ty humor isn’t going anywhere. The grit•o•va•tion is what dragged me back here.

Now, grit•i•cism is a blog — grit•storm. Updated on the 5’s (the 5th, 15th, and the 25th)

…because we all know I need structure and a sticker chart.

Grit•storm is where I’ll hash things out: deep thoughts, bad takes, big ideas, grit•ty observations - not necessarily in that order. Eventually the rest of the site will catch up, but I’m starting slow. First the blog. Then, whatever comes next. One thing at a time.

So, welcome (back) to grit•i•cism.

AND, Introducing, grit•storm.

Stay Gritty.
