Good for you!

When a certain online publication we've both written for decided to change voice and direction, I said goodbye.

Moped around for several months. Wrote a LOT in unpaid online discussion boards. Then the Disqus AI gods put me on their ban list for unknown reasons. Once again I had no outlet for my decades-long keyboard addiction. Now what?

Enough belly-button-gazing led me to focus on what I seem to do best: read lots of scientific gobbledygook, distill that into plain language, and focus on climate change in my home county. Swallowed hard and joined the Substack zombies. Pretty sure I'm the only one in that tiny niche.

Your path will be different. Your writing will find a home. Sometimes in the most unexpected place. Keep up the good work!
