Offbeat Resilience: now on Insta and Offbeat Home & Life

Hey, Homies! Some of you may have noticed some shifts in our posts here on offbeathome.com. Catherine and I have been making some changes with how we’re managing the editorial on Offbeat Home & Life, and I figured I’d give a little bit more background about what’s going on.

Some of you might know that this year I’ve been focused a lot on the development of my second book. If you’re interested in this kind of behind-the-scenes biz stuff, I assume you’re already following along with offbeatempire.com, but if not — here ya go! The book project has been through a couple different iterations, but the current title is Offbeat Resilience: Rebounding From Life’s Shitty Set-Backs. I’m co-writing it with Caroline Diezyn, who some of you may remember as the Offbeat Empire’s copyeditor of many years.

As is often the case, I’ve barfed out waaaaay more content related to the book than there are actual pages of the book, so I’ve got a lot writings about stuff like grief, growth, aging, spirituality, fitness, mindfulness, psychology, sexuality, compassion, woo woo weirdness, cultural analysis, and more to share.

After musing on it for a while, I decided that the Offbeat Resilience topics have enough overlap with Offbeat Home & Life that I’m going to keep the book-related content here on this site instead of creating a separate domain. (Actually, offbeatresilience.com does exist — it just points to the archive of posts on the site that are relevant to the Offbeat Resilience book.)

Going forward, Catherine and I will each be doing a post a week for Offbeat Home & Life… Catherine’s will tend more towards pop culture meat and fun stuff, while my posts will be longer winded musings on, well, uh, the less fun stuff.

While Offbeat Resilience-relevant posts will just be going here on offbeathome.com, I did decide to create a separate @offbeatresilience Insta account. I just didn’t want to hijack @offbeathome’s insta with pictures about depression books, stuff on my altar, and my dance videos, y'know? I’m not totally sure this is the right strategy, but oh well. I also used this as the opportunity to finally stop spamming @offbeatbride’s insta stories with my midlife weirdness (because what newly-engaged 25-year-old wants vids of some 43-year-old lady talking about her dead dog!?) so I’m now posting my daily stories on @offbeatresilience.

tl;dr

Ok, so jeez that was a lot to take in. Let’s sum it up:

• You’ll see a few less posts here on offbeathome.com, but some of them will be much longer, darker, and juicier
• Follow @offbeatresilience on insta if you like darker juicier stuff over there, are interested in the Offbeat Resilience book project, or just like my personal rambles
• If you’re already following @offbeathome on insta, it’ll be biz as usual over there

Any questions? Thanks for stumbling along with us…
