I decided at the end of last year that I was going to make some changes to my social media presence. As a result, I tabled Patreon–where I was terrible at posting–and, instead, joined Substack as a creator. The secret motivations behind this were twofold:
- It would allow me to beef up my poetry tutorial stats
- It would be a new place to show off my poems
So far, it’s been a lot of fun, if not incredibly interactive. I’ve covered a bit of found poetry, ekphrastics, acrostics, haikus, and finding inspiration in nature. I’ve shared examples and photographic prompts. Now, if only I could get to the point that other people are willing to play with me…
If you want to check it out, all content–with the exception of one post of poems I still hope to get published someday–is available for a free subscription, and perhaps even if you don’t subscribe to my stack but are still a member of the platform. (I’m not sure you can see things if you are not a substack member at all.)
I would love it if you drop by and maybe leave a comment or try one of the forms! Hope to see you there.
BTW, here is my latest poetry publication–a poem in Sleeve of Hearts, created by Lindsey Goddard of Weird Wide Web.
The second edition of my horror novel Skellyman is also out now from Mocha Memoirs Press.
And our anthology, A Crack in the Code: Stories of Cybertronic Rebellion, is now available for Kindle pre-order.
Now to get back to writing. 43 subs so far this month, and I would like to get to 50.
How’s your year going?
