I produce a lot of content for Magic. From QS to Brainstorm Brewery to Wizards to any of the other sites I've written for, it's a lot. I've been doing it weekly for more than four years at this point.

And I still enjoy it as much as ever.

That's why I took the time this week to write about exactly why it is I do what I do.

"It’s 5 a.m., and by all accounts I should be sleeping. Insomnia notwithstanding, I would be better off in bed, I’m sure. After all, today is another day back on the grind, which for me means a trip to some football practices and another day of writing about the exciting world of Oklahoma sports.

Instead I’m still up, hunched over my computer in the dark, writing this. And that’s a decision I can’t regret, no matter how many late nights I put in writing or podcasting about Magic..."

You can find the full post here, and I sincerely hope you find it worth your time.
