Streaming content and writing

I’m back watching some Stargate SG-1 tonight. A frozen lasagna is in the oven, and it is baking for the requisite hour. Season 2 is streaming along, and we just passed two time travel-related episodes in a row, which was a little unexpected. One involved some actual time travel, and the other portended to have spanned a lot longer of a window of time than had actually occurred. My big plan to finish up that audiobook we started this week is going to have to wait until tonight. I generally don’t listen to audiobooks except on road trips and at night during the hour before bed when I’m trying to avoid using screens but keep my mind active.

This happens to be the 29th post in this new weblog-driven series where we are on a journey of daily writing and blogging. It has actually been a little more of an interesting experience than I expected. Using Substack instead of WordPress has been a little bit of a change, but otherwise, the act of writing is just the same. I’m still using the Pages application on my MacBook Air and sitting down to write toward the end of the day. We are really close to a month of this writing endeavor.

I still don’t think I’ll import my whole backlog of content over here to Substack. I have read that some people bring in some highlight posts or maybe the best of content from a WordPress-based weblog. For the most part, it does not seem like people bring in years’ worth of content and hope for the best. Maybe some evergreen posts would translate over and be worth it, but it really does seem like only the freshest Substack posts get much traction. A backlog does not seem to surface all that much. That assessment is based on having a few years of weekly published content over on the Lindahl Letter publication. Most of that backlog does not get a lot of attention.
