Today was a very long day. I spent the morning driving. When I got home, I cleaned up the kitchen in preparation for dinner. After that, I spent some time reading The Creature from Jekyll Island. Then it was off to make dinner.
Dinner tonight was a keto version of fried chicken. I made the breading with almond flour and Parmesan cheese. It would have been awesome if I hadn't overcooked the breading, trying to get the chicken's internal temperature right.
What's my point? When we try, sometimes we fail, and then we learn. Today I learned a lot about cooking chicken. Because of that failure, I now know how not to fry chicken. I also have an idea of how I can improve upon today's setback. I'm confident my next batch will be better than this one.
Which brings me to Substack and my writing. I have been writing for a while now, and while I have gained a couple of followers along the way, I am still a long way from being able to make any money doing this. But I have learned so much.
I have learned a lot about myself. I love to write. I truly enjoy expressing myself to others. I also love technology. Even as I try hard to have an analog presence in my life, technology still speaks to me. I can become lost in it, much like when I write.
I have been thinking a lot about the direction I want to go with my blogging. A part of me wants to keep everything together, in one space. Another part wants to break things up, with a technology space and a personal one. I have not decided yet which way I want to pursue.
What I know is that whether I keep everything together or break things up, you can expect some changes coming to my Substack. I have mentioned it before, but I am now ready to start adding some of the tech content I talked about.
Will you join me in my technology exploration? Or will you stick with the self-reflection, spiritual, and health-related material? Would you prefer everything in one place, or some separation? I'd love to hear your opinion.
