I have been enjoying writing recently, and seeking a better way to share it more openly. Substack was recommended to me as a way to engage with more of a community feel and like-minded people. You can subscribe to the Alex Smoke Substack for free by going here.
So the Substack will be my repository for all thoughts and reflections related to the creative life. Some of it has previously appeared on this website as articles, so the first few posts will be from there, but after that the writing will follow its own course. Everything will also ultimately be presented here on the website in the relevant sections, but Substack is a much friendlier way to share the same information. It is more community-led and a way that tallies with my desire to share knowledge and interact with real humans.
And on that subject, it is also a ChatGPT-free zone so you can be assured that all thoughts and reflections (including all the wrong ones) come from an actual human and will be based on my own experiences. Sometimes I might reference some theory, but as far as possible I like to talk from actual lived experience.
