I follow a blog called Bedlam Farm. The author is an older man trying to observe and give back to the world. He can get cranky at times

When I grow up I wanna be a sometimes cranky old people-watcher.

I agree with getting to learn a writer's personality through a blog. I definitely feel tuned in to your voice and style after reading your work for about a year. Substack is fast becoming my favorite social network because the connections feel deeper and more "real" than on other social platforms which chase likes and engagement.

That was a lovely read. I hope one day I manage to catch my train of thoughts fast enough to put it on paper/screen!

Could you expand on the part where you say "The subject of the blog is the hobby or the work, not the blog itself" ? Feels like something that should resonate with me if i grasped fully what it means!

Write, publish, repeat. I shamelessly stole that advice from a trio of authors and hand it out to everyone who didn't ask for advice. Even if a person just stocks up the shelves of Google Drive with draft documents, writing is good for the soul.
