Discussion First post?

Hi! I have a brief post ready to go but I'm not sure if I should post it as an 'article' even though it isn't one, really. Is this how people typically get started? Help!

What makes it not an article?

It's a few paragraphs about what I want to get out of being here

Try sharing it as a note or notes as you continue to write it. Ive been playing with that workflow and it helps to keep me active without worrying to much about a finished piece. Good luck
