Ok LOL, this was brilliant! Thanks for the laugh, and the reminder to just keep doing what we’re doing. I almost clicked the purchase button on a $35 substack workshop this weekend and I’m SO glad I didn’t. I’m not even sure what came over me, I feel bombarded with “grow your substack” content lately and maybe just wanted it to go away? Anyway, lovely post. xx
Sorry to break it to you Katie...but the cat is out of the bag with Crossover Book Club.... (girls , she noticed!) . But well done...this has def 'invigorated your percolator' in the words of a well-known literary toad.
Yeah PAT, just pat her on the back, take the receipt and get out of that bookshop asap! Anyway there’s a pint waiting over the road with your name on it.
Also: “Publishing regularly on Substack is keeping me connected to myself as a writer who actually gets read by other people. I’m not working on something for months at a time before showing it to anyone, I’m sharing my work every week, and my confidence is responding to that.” PREACH
YOU'RE a legend, and we love YOU!! I joined Substack to read Salman Rushdie's serialised novel, to which he hasn't added anything since he was stabbed (not surprising really) and was thinking of not bothering anymore, but then I found you and a bunch of other writers whose posts make it a delight to open the app, and I was finally encouraged to start a microscopic Substack of my own which is being a whole new adventure 💜🧡💚
