Is Substack my new blog home?
Let's see how this goes...
Anyone who has been following along probably knows how much I struggled at consistently updating my blog at cardboardpopcorn.com.
My intention was to keep a semi-regular log of things I have watched and played as both a record to myself, and as well as maybe something others may be interested in reading. Even before becoming a father I frequently got stuck trying to piece my thoughts together into a coherent medium-length-form post, so things kind of just fell by the wayside until the rare occasion when the mood struck me to write. And now my son is here my brain is basically hot mush.
My hope is that with Substack I can try to alleviate some of the pressure that I place on myself to dive deeper into my thoughts and scrutinize what I’m really trying to say. Instead I am going to take more of a thought-vomit approach and just focus primarily on getting something on the page, no matter how scatterbrained and incomplete it may be.
I don’t think I’m going to try to monetize this at all, unless things really take off. This is just going to be an exercise for myself for consistency and maybe start some discussions along the way. I’ll post about books I’ve read, movies and TV I have watched, and games I have played (both video and analog). I might also sprinkle in some talk about what’s going on in my life if I feel so inclined. Every and anything is subject to change.
So let’s see how this goes…
Sehr gut!
