“I was unable to describe my experience in a way that interested the hearers,
– Douglas Harding, in On Having No Head
or conveyed to them anything of its quality or significance.”
Many people have complained to me over time that they would like to read and share what I write, but that my newsletter is arcane, or inconvenient, or that they can’t train Google not to send them to spam.
Now there are a couple more places where you may track what I’ve been up to, and creating in reaction to it:
- I launched a Medium publication that will be a (nearly) exact copy of this newsletter — I even named it The Not Mad Yet Newsletter — what an impostor! (UPDATED September 29th, 2020: The publication has been deleted.)
- Those of you who prefer to use the Internet on your phones also have the option to join my Telegram channel, where I’ll announce any new posts — perhaps even share the occasional external link, inspirational quote, or cat picture. (I’m also looking for a more mobile-friendly layout for the website, though that’s going to take a little longer.)
If you were happy with the way things were as a newsletter subscriber, you don’t have to do anything — the mailing list will remain the core of the Not Mad Yet operation, and the newsletter will keep reaching you straight into your inbox just like it has before 😉 — and if you were unaware of the newsletter and would rather follow me via email, you may sign up here.
I hope this helps! As usual, I look forward to your feedback 🙂 I plan to run this as an experiment until my next yearly website update, then reassess.
