“Nearing Completion” - Martina has joined the writing platform Substack

 



I have joined and established a space on the writing platform Substack. It’s a platform where I can consolidate, integrate, and promulgate all of my varied writings – blogs, websites, and publication – and create new content for subscribers. 

 

The name for my Substack is called “Nearing Completion” – in which I can share content in all forms – newsletters, journaling, poems, podcasts, articles, sketches, photographs, learnings, musings, and random views – all in one place. All my websites will continue to exist – but Substack will enable me to communicate with the subscribers of each of my websites on a more consistent and easy-to-use space. 

 

I’ve written my first blog – provided here below – and look forward to connecting more regularly with my family, friends, readers, and supporters. 

 

The Substack “Nearing Completion” begins HERE ! Much more to come. Subscribe! Spread the news! But most of all, enjoy the content – exclusive, personal, and behind the scenes. 



 

I also want to take the opportunity to express my gratitude for the support that is already coming in – from people in far-flung places across the globe where I have worked or visited – from Mongolia to Somalia! And to friends that I have known ‘forever’ who have been kindly providing useful feedback, tips, instructions, suggestions, and directions. I love you all!

 

Introduction for my subscribers


SUBSTACK - “NEARING COMPLETION”

Dear subscribers,

You are coming to this post directly through a Substack subscription or through a subscription from one of my websites. Subscribers on my individual websites (listed below) will continue to receive direct and specific subject-related posts. This Substack subscription list is a compilation of all my subscribers in order to streamline the subscription process.

Here in my Substack called Nearing Completion, I’ll share my reading and writing likes, loves, lusts, and learnings - that bring together the combination of my websites and interests:

In my daily life, I begin each morning for about 3 hours at my usual café in Paris writing and planning my day. I read voraciously, and I write, write, write every day - whether it’s creative or professional.

Through Substack, I plan to form a body of work that pulls together and integrates my writings - professional and personal - structured and unstructured - public and private - scientific and artistic - cross-fertilised and blended - directly for this community of responsive readers.

So, each week, for my Substack subscribers on Nearing Completion I’ll choose some of the most popular posts to share on Substack and re-work them into themes or compilation blogs. I will post blogs on whatever subject that comes to mind through newsletters, journaling notes, poems, podcasts, articles, sketches, photographs, learnings and realisations, meditations, musings, news, and random views. These posts will be for Substack readers only, that have not been posted elsewhere.

Additionally, for my paid subscribers, I will post exclusive content through a weekly or ad hoc newsletter, audio thoughts and messages, podcasts, videos, and feelings about how I’m progressing with my writings, as well as extracts from my new book in progress that no one has read before. I’ll also connect with readers with surveys and questions to ask for suggestions and directions and advice. Or share my personal ups ands downs of a life in peace and poetry and peripatetic perambulations.

Dear readers - unpaid and paid subscribers - I hope that you will inspire me, make me think, and help me create as I live, love, laugh, and launch myself through this crazy world.

Stay up-to-date

Never miss an update—every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. For a spam-free, ad-free reading experience, plus audio and community features on web platforms and the Substack app.

Nearing Completion is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

2016 update on Rike Park, Tbilisi: from construction to busy park

From a flat patch of uninteresting dirt, Rike Park in Tbilisi, Georgia, has transformed in four years (from 2014-2016) into a busy park full of trees, flower beds, sculptures, fountains, and events. Rike (Rikhe) Park is on the left bank of the Mt’k’vari River (the Kura River) near the Old City of Tbilisi. The Peace Bridge links the right bank to Rike Park. Rike Park is below the hillside Presidential Palace and, via cable car, it is the starting point for the ride to Sololaki Ridge (with the Narikala Fortress and the Mother of Georgia statue). The glass box-shaped cable car terminus was opened on 23 June 2012, and since then the park has continually developed into a ‘people’s park’ where people can walk around, eat at the nearby restaurants, sit next to the statue of American president Ronald Reagan, climb the steps to Avlabari district, and access the sights of Meidan Square, the Peace Bridge, the Metekhi Church, the Old City, the waterfall, the sulphur baths, and t...

Hop on hop off bus tourism comes to Tbilisi, Georgia

City Sightseeing buses have arrived in Tbilisi. The iconic red double-decker buses, a feature of many cities around the world since the company was established in Seville, Spain in 1999, is now in six continents and almost 100 cities. The company established its Tbilisi business in November 2013, with its operations commencing in February 2014. The 90-minute tour stops at 11 major locations in Tbilisi (with 2 to 5 minute waiting times at each location): the Old City (where it commences), Freedom Square, Rose Revolution Square, Marjanishvili Square, the Dry Bridge, Konka, Avlabari, Metekhi, Akhundov Museum, the Sulfur Baths, and European Square. Passengers can hop off at any stop and see the sights, hopping back onto the next bus at any time. Alternatively, passengers can remain on the bus for the whole tour and take photographs when the bus stops at each location. There are one day (24-hour) passes (for 35 lari – about $20) and 48-hour passes for 55 lari, with family d...
