Closing time…

Welcome to the final post of this blog. I’ve spent the last few weeks considering the best uses for my time and this site. While I’ve lived my life as a man that enjoyed many a blog, I just do not have enough of a return on investment with At The Helm. 

This doesn’t mean I am anywhere close to finished with writing nonfiction pieces as we enter the New Year. I have several project ideas planned in January, all of which will find a new home over at Medium. 

I’ve been a member of Medium for several years and have long considered it an excellent tool for storytelling, both in fiction and nonfiction. As I worked on At The Helm, I let my writing on that site fall by the wayside. Medium allows me the flexibility to write about a lot more than I would on this site, while also bringing some return on the words I’m sending out on the tubes of the interweb. 

This does mean that a large amount of the content you’re currently reading here will be on the other side of a paywall. I would encourage you to sign up for Medium’s incredibly affordable five-dollar-a-month plan. The content on the site is incredibly wide and varied and offers a little bit of something for everyone. But I also know that not everyone wants to sign up for yet another subscription on the internet. I’m looking out for those readers as well.

Subscribers to my Super Powered Newsletter have always received free links to my work over at Medium. That won’t change after the calendar changes and this blog disappears into the ether. If you aren’t already a subscriber, you can easily join here to get my biweekly missives with all the news on my current writing and more. While NicholasAhlhelm.com isn’t going anywhere any time soon, the Super Powered Newsletter will be the place for the most up-to-date news on everything. 

If you’ve been a loyal reader to At The Helm, I want to give you a heartfelt thank you. The page has never quite reached everyone I hoped it would, but it’s always been a joy to share my thoughts and feelings here. I hope you will follow me on Medium and keep up the grand tradition of some great writing. 

Thanks and I hope to see you over there in the New Year!
