Smartly, So, Yeah – Victoria McGinley Studio

Smartly, this weblog is creating a weighty go. Say hi to Well So Yeah.

So, sure, upcoming fascinated about it for the easier a part of a era+, I in the end created a Substack site. When you jump over, chances are you’ll see a couple of favourite essays and poems from the terminating couple years already housed there. My plan is to write down solely on Smartly So Yeah any longer. When you subscribe, all unused posts shall be despatched proper on your Inbox.

Yeah, I do know. All the girlies are shifting to Substack this present day. (Is {that a} facet vision I sense throughout the display screen?) My causes are most likely alike to a dozen of OG bloggers. Essentially, frankly: I’m drained. This can be a shit ton of labor to form and supremacy weblog content material, however this present day, selling that content material feels upcoming to unimaginable. If readers aren’t steadily coming on your web site (which, hello, mine aren’t, on account of my prolonged pregna-demic hiatus) it way you chase them ailing in different places. Regularly that park is Instagram, a park I’m loath to form content material for.

In lieu, Substack meets a dozen of the wishes I’ve at this actual private {and professional} juncture. Simple content material distribution, upper probability of discoverability, skill to earn source of revenue for my writing (no longer a at the moment factor, however possibly one day?). Plus, restricted design choices, which for anyone like me is a superb factor as it way I will prevent fussing and rather focal point at the phrases.

Right here’s what to learn about my plan for Well So Yeah:

• The web site will post one to 2 private essays consistent with time. Hooray!
• In between, I’ll percentage per thirty days columns alike to ones I’ve posted right here for years — trim roundups of favorite finds, plus things I enjoyed reading at the Web.
• Something I truly leave out about my weblog (and blogworld basically) is the sense of folk in a feedback category. In that spirit, I plan to post monthly threads with query activates, sizzling takes, or alternative dialogue pieces. However this gained’t paintings except readers prevent via to chime in. So with that—you must subscribe!
• The entire purpose is one publication/put up consistent with life. I don’t wish to inundate you! (Regardless that in case you subscribe and form a normal Substack account, you’ll be able to trade which forms of newsletters you obtain.)

However what in regards to the weblog right here?

• You may’ve spotted I already did some housekeeping—over the summer season I quietly archived a lot of the worn content material. No person had to learn buying groceries roundups from 2012, ? Posts that experience legs or that I truly like are nonetheless reside and to be had.
• I’ve additionally stored the gigantic majority of my recipe archives to be had!
• tl;dr: day I don’t plan to post right here, some content material will stay to be had indefinitely. The wider web site will keep reside too.

In order that’s it! Go subscribe! I’m lately running on an essay in regards to the Web, the on-demand financial system, and what I understand because the stand of selfishness throughout our tradition…and it’ll journey reside upcoming life. Adios there!
