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!

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

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

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!
