a lil intro
Iāve been blogging since 2015 around the same time I left my corporate job, and Iām fairly new to Write.As (Iām loving it so far). What drew me to the platform was its simplicity and it/founder Mattās values (I wanted to a place where I could focus on writing and publishing, rather than the distracting bells-n-whistles).
I now call myself a writer, and I use my Write.As blog to document my journey as I pursue my dream as a full-time writer.
my likes include
sports (lots!), personal growth (I studied a Masters in āthe science of happinessā), train journeys, exploring new places (& discovering new coffee shops to work from), nourishing conversations, sunny days, snow days, beaches, mountains, music, solopreneurship/being an artist-slash-creator (#multipassionate)
Iāve written off and on since I was a kid and discovered write.as shortly after I started blogging again in 2018.
My blog can be found at https://blog.jakelacaze.com. My posts are mostly my attempts to make sense of the world around me, with some fiction and writing newsletters sprinkled in.
Iām an author, poet and Zen Buddhist monk in Glasgow, Scotland. I moved home after in early 2017, after 22 years in the US, because Trump had gotten elected. I have three write.as blogs, quite different from one another.
Nice to meet you, Greum. Your experiences sound fascinating, and Iāve just been enjoying dipping into your blogs. I wasnāt aware that Amazon could sell authorās paperbacks, even without their permission? Interesting
a lil intro
Iām Dave Polaschek. Been blogging on and off since 1995, when I started using frontier to write āDaveās Picks,ā a ābest of the webā kind of thing that morphed into an extended personal website, and included a book on making mead (which I also published in paper). Along the way, I wrote my own CMS in a mix of PHP, C, and /bin/sh. Web 1.0, baby.
I also took a bunch of photos, and worked on a photo editing application you may have heard of. Iām now retired and spending as little time as possible with āreal computers,ā and I have reminders set on my iPhone to tell me to power up my Mac twice a year so the SSD doesnāt lose its mind due to no electricity refreshing its memory.
Iāll jump inā¦ I built and sold a business in WordPress. Started that business from a blog. Today, from a pure writing standpoint, I liked what I saw with write.as and wanted to give it a shot for my personal blog.
Thatās cool, Justin. Thereās something really refreshing about write.as, isnāt there? Iāve run various blogs since 2015 and have slowly started to monetize.
Iām hoping I can use it to write for enjoyment and as my businessā¦ it takes some intentionality, but I feel itās possible
Hello, Iāve started a gazillion blogs that donāt last, due to my own lack of attention. I post on a lot of dev sites also.
I am at it again and a bit ambitious, I think. Iām not going to bother to post links since I havenāt posted yet, itās all in the works. If you just have to know, feel free to askā¦lol
So, I am starting 3 blogs at once.
A personal blog, with more personal thoughts, ideas about spirituality, family, etcā¦
A blog for my tech stuff - thoughts on coding, tutorials, Windows, and Linux stuff.
And finally, I am starting a separate memoir of the 10 years I spent in the Army.
Weāll see how it goes, I just created them all and got domains setup. I hope to add at least one post to anyone of the three a week. Weāll see how that goes.
Hi @ziniosedge and @teeducateblog, this topic is meant for writers that are part of the Write.as community ā not commercial services. So Iāve taken down your posts.
We will definitely see how it goes. Still getting it all situated and figuring out how to deal with things that could be on both. Do I cross post? Or put it in one and link to itā¦ things like that have me wondering.
