Just a few quick announcements and changes that will be taking place on January 1st.
My blog here will be moving over to Substack permanently as of January 1st. Substack just seems to be the better place for my business and blog. Also you will be able to find free posts on both Substack and on the Reckless Press website which will re-launch on January 1st as well. The first few months all posts will be free on Substack and on the Reckless Press website after February 28th there will be at the least two free posts a month available on both platforms.
What To Watch on TCM will continue on Substack and will become the primary free blog post. There will be new blogs to look forward to like, What I Watch When I'm Stoned, Retrospective a blog about artists, chefs, actors, musicians and influential people that are interesting to me or had an affect on the world. There will also be posts on politics and what affects the American people. I also plan to do a few blogs on the community here in Pueblo, it's a small community but it is also very important to the state of Colorado and to artists.
Also I will be moving off of Patreon completely as of January 1st. It has just become too complicated and you can't get new readers or supporters through Patreon. I think it is such a hard platform to work with right from the start and creators should start out somewhere else right off the bat. I would also tell creators that if you are a fan of free speech, really Patreon is not the place for you, Patreon really tries to control and own what creators can and do with their content even when it is not on the Patreon platform. I like the idea behind Patreon but it needs to be more creator and starter friendly and also needs to realize that what a creator puts out cannot be controlled. Creators are above all else American citizens and speech should not be controlled by any platform.
I have to say thank you for reading all of my posts and for always reading when I did write. I hope that many of you will follow me over and that I will get more readers and that I will be more accountable with keeping up with posts. My experience here on Blogger has been wonderful and the community here has always been very supportive and the company itself has been easy to work with but I feel that I need to get out of my comfort zone and hopefully achieve what I have set out to start, a publishing company that supports writers and artists in the community to tell their stories and share their art.
All posts will be archived on the Reckless Press website.
