I started my first blog in 2000 or 2001, I think. Shout-out to Xanga. I’ve been blogging for over half of my life. And before that I was writing in a diary.
I’ve always been one for sharing thoughts. Nowadays I do it through my newsletter + archives, a podcast-ish thing, and socials.
If you want to hear thoughts from fabs, here are a few ways you can engage:
Anyone can sign up here to get thoughts in their inbox. I’m aiming for monthly! At any time you can visit the site and also see the archives!
Paid subscribers can sign-up to get more regular and messy thoughts.
More things that haven’t been overly edited, and aren’t finished thoughts, but more current pondering.
Paid subscribers will also get access to my podcast-ish thing!
For some, the paid subscribers thing might seem weird. For me, it helps me feel safer. it means the people reading or hearing those thoughts probably have some kind of buy-in or experience with me. My goal isn’t for my words to reach as many people as possible. My goal is for my thoughts to reach people who might be helped by them. And that seems more likely to happen if the people reading them have some history or context of a relationship with me (even if that is just on the internet).

You can also become a Patron if you’d rather do that instead of being a subscriber. I think of my patrons as sort of a board of directors. I bounce ideas off them. And also - in my dark nights of feeling like I have lost my dreams with this Long Covid life, I look at my list of patrons and they truly help me feel like I can keep going.
