Because blogging has felt increasingly uncomfortable for me for personal writing, I am going to attempt TinyLetter instead. It’s an e-newsletter platform and you can subscribe here. It will deliver my ‘personal writing’ posts directly to your email rather than on this blog.
This blog was always supposed to be a place for very honest writing.
I am hoping with TinyLetter I can feel a little more free again, because I will know exactly who is in the room with me when I am talking. I will always keep this blue milk blog going, but the e-newsletter might be the place where I do more of my ‘thinking out loud’ style writing; the way I used to do on this blog.
That sounds like a nice outlet. I definitely hear you on the difficulty with writing honestly; the older my kids get, the more aware I am of the very hazy boundaries between telling my stories and telling theirs for them, and being leery of laying bare too much. There ought to be room for their own mystery too.
