A small change in how I’m writing — and why

The future of Tuesday's with Teague

I’m Teague de La Plaine. This is Open Logbook—a public log of observations on humanity, shared systems, and the long future.

Over time, the way I write has been changing.

Not just the topics, but the posture—how I observe, how I question, and what I feel responsible for putting into the world. The lighter, more whimsical cadence of “Tuesdays with Teague” no longer fits what I’m trying to do here, or the scale of what I find myself thinking about.

So I’m making a quiet shift.

This newsletter will become Open Logbook (OpenLog).

OpenLog is where I’ll write longer-form pieces about future human development, shared global systems, language, coordination, and what I’ve been calling CosmoCommons and Terlando. These won’t be hot takes or weekly dispatches. Think of them as observations from the field—provisional, sometimes unresolved, written when there’s something worth recording.

At the same time, I’m separating my writing-about-writing work into a different space under Novellistic, where I’ll focus on indie publishing, craft, tools, and the practical realities of being a working writer. That material deserves its own container, and not everyone here signed up for that.

Here’s the important part:
You’ll be subscribed to both by default, and you have my full permission—and encouragement—to unsubscribe from either one, or both, at any time. No hard feelings, no guilt, no algorithmic sadness. I want readers who choose to be here.

This isn’t a pivot away from readers; it’s a refinement of how I show up. I’m still figuring things out in public, but with a clearer sense of what fits where. If you decide to continue along for the ride—whether to read, challenge, or simply observe—I’m genuinely grateful. And if you step off here, I respect that too.

Thanks for being here, for however long it makes sense.

All One/Teague
