About CAML

Who is CAML?

When I got my current professional email address, I saw that they put the initials of my middle names by default. Now, this might not be breaking news for you, but in my culture I don't usually see my middle names anywhere else than official documentation. I couldn't even tell you my parents' middle names. I'm originally from France, and I now live in England (not quite settled but pre-settled if you know what I mean...). So, this is somewhat off putting for me, but I'm telling you this because it made me realized, after 20+ years of having them, that my full set of initials are CAML. Now, seeing that, I just couldn't let this opportunity pass without doing something about it, so here goes: CAM-L.com, my personal (but not too personal because this is the internet) blog.

Why this blog?

To be honest, I am not totally clear on what this website is about, yet. Part of me had this really ambitious goal of developping my own brand, building a reputation and later being able to transform it as a source of income. This is probably coming from influencers making a career on the internet, and pushing their audience to do the same or risking being called stupid for not doing so. I do think it could be a great idea, but hardly our only option, so let's relax.

And another part of me wanted to overcome procrastination and the fear of criticism, and reversing my Consumption:Production ratio. In other words, using this blog as a transformative tool for my personal development. This second reason is much more immediate and realistic, and therefore is my actual motivation to write. This could lead to the former reason, but not necessarily, it'll just keep this option open. I'm also hoping to find a direction or to define my area(s) of interest as I write.
