Lu-Hai Liang

Hello, readers. It has been a while. But I’m here to tell you about some exciting plans.

There’s been quite significant change in the world and with me over these intervening months. And now it’s 2024 and I’d like to get back to sharing my thoughts and updates with you.

However, it won’t be happening so often on this blog.

Instead I will be moving my writing to my very own Substack. If you don’t know what that is, it is a newsletter subscription service. You simply drop your email address into the provider, and every time I write a new post you’ll receive it straight into your Inbox. Hurrah! Here’s the link.

Apparently, these newsletters get good engagement and they allow the writer the option to earn something from their writing. In the days ahead I’ll be publishing my first post, which is about pivoting away from journalism and returning to Why I Write, so look out for it. I’ll probably publish a truncated version on this blog, but to ensure you get the fuller version I recommend subscribing to my Substack! Here is the link (again).

In addition, I’ll be encouraging readers to sign up for the paid option. You’ll get full access to each and every post, as well as older posts as it grows, and the genuine experience delivered right to your inbox.

To get this full-fat luxury I humbly suggest signing up for a year’s subscription. It works out much less than paying monthly. Over mugs of tea catching rays of sun, or coffee breaks, or even cocktails overlooking the sea, you’ll be able to access an entire year’s worth of lovingly-crafted posts.

A note on the name: Scribble, Dribble. I just plucked it out of the air. I wanted something whimsical to balance against my more serious tendencies, and to remind myself to be more playful, lighter, and more observant. It’s my personal theme for this year in fact. Because to be a writer doesn’t mean you have to be A. WRITER. It can be enjoyable just to mess around with a sentence, with words. And if you’re not a writer, it can be fun to peek into another lifestyle or thoughts that at least try to be original.

Please join me over at my new thing: Scribble, Dribble!
