I don’t quite understand the difference between a blog and a Substack newsletter. I mean, OK, yes, I understand if you’re like writing a weekly newsletter on recipes or fashion or the chaotic-and-horrifying-state-of-geo-politics-right-now but for someone like me (and many of us) the newsletter doesn’t quite fit the rambling posts of the blog … But, deep breath, I’m gonna do it anyway.
Soon this website will become a “real website” as in, no more rambling, messy blog, but I still want somewhere to share my scribbles because I think they help me as I stumble towards having the confidence to call myself “a writer”. At the very least, blogging gives me an inconsistent practice I feel guilty about ignoring for months years on end. I’d like to change that. I’d like to write more consistently and find the joy in it again. I had lost the joy in a lot of things for a while. Even writing, I’m sad to say.
So, to the Substack newsletter I go.
And I am optimistically saying I will post weekly.
Deadlines are helpful things, right?
If you would like to join me on this new but familiar journey I’d love to have you along for the ride. But I also don’t want to simply assume you want to be reading my rubbish and migrate you all over. If you would like to (and there is no pressure at all) you can sign up to my Substack here: https://katywarner.substack.com/subscribe
I also just posted my first post which you can read here if you want to:
and if you feel so inclined it would be nice if you gave it a little heart …. but only if you want to … again, as ever, no pressure.
Thank you for supporting the messy and inconsistent blog of this messy and inconsistent “writer”.
