Nigel has a blog?

Yeah, so I started a blog. Or I guess the technical term on Substack is “newsletter,” but there’s not really going to be any “news” here. I wanted a place where I could write for fun and see what sort of ideas I’m actually able to put into words and feel ok about sharing with people. So this is where I’m gonna do that.

I wrote a little post recently about what this blog is “about” and the types of writing I’m most interested in. It has links to a lot of other posts. You can read it here.

An archive of past posts is available here.

I don’t know the first thing about photography, but damn Chicago can be so beautiful as to make taking photos look easy.

Sign up if you want

You can subscribe to my blog if you want to, and it would make me so delighted if you did! That just means you’ll get an email whenever I post something, and the email will just be a copy of the post itself delivered to your inbox. Substack doesn’t really spam you beyond that. I generally try to upload a post every Friday, but I’m not at all promising I’ll be able to stick to that schedule.

Substack is really built more for people who want to do paid subscription newsletters, but I have a day job and I’m not about to charge money and ask others to pay me to do what’s essentially just an indulgent little hobby of mine. So no pay walls forthcoming here. If you like what you read, that’s delightful to hear. Please share it and stuff. That’s about it.
