Join me on my wander!

Try to follow my journey, and my logic

I'm blogging about my minivan-based journey through the US, which I'm referring to as my "mystic wander" (more on the name in a future post). This newsletter will provide an occasional roundup of my posts on my website: wanderingmystic.net.

I'm going to try to keep the style

• compelling,

• entertaining,

• thought-provoking,

• informative,

• and very personal (maybe excessively so, at times)

I've started so many blog posts in the past with a perfectionistic mindset, feeling that I needed to have a bulletproof argument and fully-researched and cited background; of course, the result was that I have a graveyard of unfinished posts. This blog should be an exercise in trying to shed my perfectionism. Oh, and also there’s a strong possibility of some stream-of-consciousness style as well (like that point about perfectionism above).

That said, it's also important to keep it readable. To that end, I commit to keeping my posts organized and approachable; and hopefully I'll keep them relatively short when possible, and at the very least interesting, when brevity isn't possible. I find my writing pretty entertaining - hopefully you will too!

What’s this Substack thing?

I’m going to be posting on my website (ideally every day or so), but I’ll use this Substack as a newsletter to give your email inbox a poke about content I create! Feel free to check my website directly for updates. I will probably end up sending a newsletter every week or so, which will include links to all the posts I created in the past week. So sign up to keep in touch, and tell your friends!
