FAREWELL AND WELCOME
Darlings, the social media landscape has become a place that requires deliberate navigation. I've taken several months to pay attention to spaces and the way they make me feel.
Facebook and Instagram are less and less enjoyable. Mostly I'm on Patreon with creators who uplift and inspire me. The other space I'm enjoying is YouTube. I have to w**d out the sloppy AI generated nonsense to find the uplifting inspiration, but it's my pick of the original social media platforms.
Many fellow authors have moved to Substack and made it their hub. I get it, it's set up as a blogging/digital newsletter space. I subscribe to a few, but have been resistant to going in that direction myself, and haven't put energy into working out why. Maybe I just don't want to start over in a new place, yet again.
Early in the year, I began crafting a lovely space on Patreon for us. Then all at once, it (on top of all the other platforms) felt like too much. I let everything go dormant while circling the drain of "what actually am I doing in the world and is it worthwhile?"
I'm not so dizzy now.
Over the next little while, I'll be whittling down my multitude of profiles across the social media platforms. Pruning my landscape and planting deliberately.
Come and join me on Patreon for free. Everything old is new again and it gives dedicated blog vibes, updated with chat rooms, videos, live streaming occasionally, and podcast episodes. Oh, and downloads (possibly merch, eventually).
You can choose how to be notified when I post: App or email, or a mix of both.

If that feels like too much, subscribe to my mailing list instead. I email a couple of times a month, usually.
