What if rather than pre-rejecting ideas that excite me because I don’t know where to publish them… I just stayed in my word cave and wrote whatever I wanted to write, and put it somewhere where people could read it?
I’m glad you’re here! FWIW, I did the same avoidance and then the same calculus to eventually start writing my own. All those things I wanted to write but had nowhere to put them. They live here. I’m glad I’ll get to read yours!
So thrilled to see you pop up in my Substack feed, Lilly! Welcome -- this is a good, supportive place for us writers. Looking forward to reading your future words.
Yeah, this is precious. It feels safe here. Substack is where my late husband lives, inside the book I am making for us. It feels alive and protected. I LOVE those panthers!

Thank you! Yeah I kind of had to back myself into a corner lol but now that I’m here I’m excited about it
Same!! I have an kind of overwhelming list of ideas to write about but frankly, it’s the most creatively energized I’ve been in a very long time

Cheering for you! Thanks for writing about your process. Same.
This is exciting! Also, thanks for validating us I-get-to-it-when-I-get-to-it readers!
I like that idea of “lining the cave.” Maybe that’s what I need to be doing now. Looking forward to seeing what you write. Hal
An important step that is too often skipped!
Welcome!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
