Being Social, In Flux

While I tend to view writing about my online life as an exercise in futility and/or lack of imagination, this particular drumbeat’s been getting louder and louder of late – too loud, so an exorcism is required.

It’s time for a change.

Now that I’ve been writing these daily pieces for almost two months (seriously, there’s nearly sixty of them now, in addition to the earlier volumes of this side project), I’m comfortable with being comfortable here… and only here, publicly at least. My bi-weekly newsletter will continue to be my primary mode of social communication; its 50th installment – goodgod – drops this Sunday.

Needless to say, there will be some changes though those are still in flux and I don’t want to make any decisions about them now because part of the fun of this change is the thrill of the experiment. All I know is that there might be – in addition to these daily warm-up pieces – more posting throughout the day (maybe / whenever I feel like it), the sharing of Inputs – things I’ve read, things I’m reading – music recommendations, etc etc, who knows. All I’m looking to do here is to continue to make this site, this little unweeded garden of thought, once again the truest expression of myself and return to a minimal online existence via an essential period of brain defragmentation, of battening down the hatches of I to survive the 2020 election season, and engaging in new creative challenges – to write more, to write better, and to share more thoughtfully – beholden to no one except my own whim.

Onward.
