I guess I am paying for this platform. Finally.

I need to pay for a year of write.as because it has been my favorite #writing #app since i started #blogging (in 2006). It is like $50 a year (or $4 a month which i missed this month's payments (oops)). So i will go ahead and pay the $50 so i can have all the features because this platform truly does value your #privacy (though I wish there was a Yubikey 2FA option available), and this thing is incorporated w/ the Fediverse pretty well (Mastodon), and is just easy as fuck to use.

But also, I am getting pretty inspired to create more “content” or at least do more stuff online than I have been doing in the past two weeks. I am awaiting the EdX course to start on Oct.3 but that is a ways away (one month to the day, specifically). I need to find something to do before then, but I am good with spending this time reading #books that I have been meaning to catch up on as well. I have one from SLCL about book #publishing that I wanna get in to + another book by Bonnie Kristian that I wanna start (as soon as it arrives). I respect her and the amount of work she put into it (even though the subject matter is about religion, and I am atheist) and I ordered it from an indie bookstore that is in like....upstate NY or some shit because I

A) wanna support indie bookstores B) say “fuck you” to Amazon C) hope both the store and the author make more money than an Amazon or Books-A-Million sale would D) because I support the author and bookseller because I enrolled (or hope to enroll) in a possible online course that this upstate NY bookseller is offering that is about the publishing business.

As you can tell from that list + the book I am reading right now, I am thinking about giving a PRO book a go. “Pro” meaning I want to publish a book the legit way. A lot, a LOT of hard fucking work goes into writing/publishing a book though. I wrote a couple little books in the past that I made into #ebooks and I am proud of them, but I have one, ONE good book in me that needs to see the light of day.

More on that later

Be back soon
