Right now, I'm going to publish gratis and not try to monetize my writing....though I've supported myself prior to retirement as a writer/journalist in diverse markets--public relations, advertising, magazines, newsletters, Web content, books--in fiction and non-fiction...

But now??

I just want to write for the sheer joy of it! My website will give me a platform and means to communicate and speak to and with kindred spirits...an affair of the heart.
Yes! I started about a year ago. I'm writing a book and serializing the drafts. The working title is Exit 9: The Off-Ramp to the Good Life and it's for people who are not satisfied with the current culture and would like ways to detach from it.

Anyway, HH, congratulations on your launch! Substack is a great platform. I haven't monetized mine yet--my goal is to turn on paid subscriptions April 24.

I'm happy to subscribe to your newsletter!
