I think that AI has officially killed regular blogs and websites like this one.

No one will ever find me here if they don’t come looking for me. No one will find something that I wrote when they search on Google, because I will never rank high enough to make it into the AI generated answers that now take up the whole top half of the page.

I don’t use social media anymore, like Facebook and Instagram, because I think they’re just toxic places I want no part in, and for a while I dabbled on Bluesky but it just doesn’t hold my interest.

But I have to share.

If I don’t write and share my thoughts, even if I am writing to no one but myself, I feel bad. And if I don’t have a “thing” that I make myself do every day, I feel like I am a useless lump.

I used to play Wordle every day, and write on 750words.com religiously, but then I just… stopped. I just didn’t feel like having daily obligations anymore, but now I feel unanchored, adrift with nothing to keep me grounded in what I want to be doing.

On Medium, I have been writing under an alias since 2019.

I have almost 9,000 followers, and if I put even a minimal amount of effort in, I can usually make at least $100 a month.

But she isn’t me.

Cheney wants attention, too.

When I write a book, like a really good book, I want to be recognized for it, I want to have the audience, the readers, the fans – not her.

So, a presence must be made, and that sucks, because I hate just putting things out there for attention; so I have a plan.

I am going to post here every day, but I am going to post whatever I want.

Maybe I’ll just post a link, a photo, a video, a quote, or maybe a whole ranty post like this.

Eventually, I am going to be writing about what I’m writing. A novel. Multiple novels. Multiple novels that are going to make me, if not rich, able to live comfortably and without fear for the rest of my life.

But now, I’m poor and have fear.
