Can we help this fellow writer looking for site advice?
I'm an aspiring writer, mainly interested in writing psychological speculative fiction. Never been published traditionally. I'd even say I don't have a habit of writing regularly.
I'm thinking of starting a blog or something of similar where I can post my writing. It will help me hopefully receive feedback on my writing and become comfortable with sharing my work and develop a sense of accountability to post regularly.
I'm looking for a blogging platform where I can have a domain...it's not very necessary...just nice to have.
I'd also appreciate some advice on developing a writing habit. I worked some content writing jobs and after that I lost interest in writing very soon.
Thank you :)

I'm not sure about the domain but I feel like I should bring up that slrpnk.net provides free microblog space https://movim.slrpnk.net/login to everyone with a lemmy account here
I'm currently using write.as, which is a write.freely instance. Basic is free and it's cheap to get a pro account with a few more bells and whistles.
I like that there's an API, so I can write in my editor of choice and publish directly without using the browser.
I haven't used it myself, but I have read plenty of newsletters/blogs that use ghost (like this one for editorials), and I know for a fact that integrating ko-fi is just a matter of pasting in the widget wherever you want it to show up.
