If you like to read articles or want to learn about different styles of writing, I have two writing accounts for you to look at and possibly sign up to write your own articles. The choice is yours Medium: This is my main account. I share articles on how to get started writing, journaling or whatever is on my mind. I even have an article on what I think Disney is doing to our daughters, but my favorite still the one I wrote about my mother after she passed in 2022. I love writing for this site, but I had to take a break, and now I am back writing, starting in January 2026 Substack: I opened this account and although I am still havigating through it, Substack is a great companion for Medium. At first, I was submitting the same articles in Substack, as I was in Medium, but I have diviated somewhat from Medium in terms of article submitting. also take note that Substack wants you to create a newsletter. So if that style is more of your vibe, try Substack. My links are Substack The Writing Cove: https://substack.com/@thewritingcove Medium: https://medium.com/@tricia721 Feel free to take a look around both sites and read the articles, or sign up for an account, and start writing your own. If you have any questions, please ask. I might now know all the answers about these two, but I will do what I can.
