A blog post haiku
Hey there and howdy, hello.
Come find me on Substack.
This blog is hosted on WordPress, and there’s a whole WordPress ecosystem that, in theory, helps connect people.
I don’t think I post often enough for that to work, but I really do appreciate the folks who follow me here.
What I like about Substack is that they’ve found a way to incorporate what I also liked about Twitter. There’s the blogging platform (newsletters), the feed (tweets, but they call them posts), and there’s also a chat. It’s pretty tidy.
Speaking of tidy. My latest on Substack is Small Mercies: Sifting through Kerouac’s Western Haiku (and a note from Tom Petty.
I’d like to share more rough draft stories and poems with you, but doing that here makes them ineligible for publication almost anywhere else. I think Substack offers a work-around. I can put rough drafts in the chat, which is only visible to subscribers (subscriptions are free). Just a thought.
