An experiment in two parts. — This has less to do with testing the alleged boost function/feature on here and more to do with engagement. Not just for me but for all of us. Think of it as a writer's lift. Here’s my proposal. All of you on Twitter, leave your link in the comment section…

No wonder writers are leaving in droves! — This. This? THIS! For those of us who have been on here for more than 30 seconds have seen this story 1,684,126,397,412,574,521 times already. But this is what gets promoted by the platform??? I need to spend more time on getting my Substack up and going full steam ahead because this is bullsh*t. And FYI, the “writer” has made a whopping thirteen bucks. Linda Kowalchek, Kim Zuch, Hogan Torah, do you all see this hot mess??

I was tooling around on X formerly known as and still referred to by me, Twitter when I happened upon Diane Feinstein’s name under Trending. She has passed away. We all do and she was 90 so I can’t be upset about that. She lived a lot longer than most…

And I’m okay with that. — I knew that the old Terry was still around. I just hadn’t seen or heard from her much over the last year or so. Here and Present Terry has been too sick to invoke Ghetto Terry. But boy oh boy did that trick come out in force today. She’s cooler…

Two of them had me jumping out of my skin! — I’m in between cable “news” shows and had two hours to kill. I jumped online and began researching places to self-publish other than Amazon. Roosevelt Publishers, Nexus Publishing House, and Authors Hike were all told to FK off. As soon as the page loaded — PING PING PING PING. I was inundated with supposed…

Not to me it doesn’t. — I’ve been online searching for days now for the “best” AI voice generator. Did you know that there are about 549,819,745,774,648,943 different ones? Good Lord. YouTube Content creators of YT known better as garbage shovelers will post videos where the title and subsequently the description will have the word FREE in…

They’re not what they used to be. — While I realize that I’m going to sound like an old fart here, back in the day there was a huge bookstore, Crown Books. I loved that place. It was a family business but they also owned Trak Auto and Dart Drug. They were everywhere. I shopped at all three…

The young and the restless got me today. — Dammit, dammit, dammit. I was having such a good day today too. I wrote a piece about Substack and sent it over to Ben Human. I finished my second post for Substack and scheduled it to publish on Monday. Did some reading here and commented. Zoom call at 11. Trash…

I thought I had made up my mind! — At times like this, my overthinking everything really pisses me off and frustrates me to no end. I published for the first time on Substack yesterday. I finished a second post earlier today which is scheduled to publish on Monday. My goal before this coming Monday is to have enough…
