I'm glad to see you here, Arvind. I'm still writing my regular blog on Typepad because I adamantly want to "own my own space", but mirroring it here. This seems to work pretty well, without the toxicity and problems of social media that you accurately state (and which I can't bear either).
I understand the impulse to "own your own space". I almost wanted to create my own website from scratch, but in the end decided not to go through the trouble.
I mostly read here as I’m reluctant to leave my old Wordpress blog (even though I probably should). So much good writing here though, it’s worth sticking around.
Welcome! I’m one of those folks trying to monetize my writing (novels). So far, monetizing them the regular way (i.e., selling them as print books or ebooks) still works better. But there are also a lot of people publishing fiction for free, which is what I’m doing with my next novel. And a lot of serious thinkers, as you mentioned.
