I used to wake up, pour coffee and slip into dismay over the news. Now I wake up, pour coffee, and slip into pure contentment over the well of thoughtful Substack stories by all of YOU. Keep the good stuff coming, writers.

People are sharing lists of books they’ve read more than once. I think we should start a list of Substack posts we’ve loved more than once. This one is mine. What’s yours?

Always remember that your writing on Substack is evergreen! It doesn’t fade in a couple of days like Instagram. This post just got its 100th restack.

Looking to connect with other fantasy, sci-fi, and horror writers & readers! 🧜‍♀️🧛👽

I’m still in search of Substackers who publish their own creative work here. I’d like to follow those who post serialized novels or non-fiction as well as short stories. My favorites to read are contemporary/realistic or adventure or fantasy. Help me find you! Please.

Dear Substack algorithm, please connect me with all the writers, authors, editors who are:

  • writing their novels this year

  • starting their freelance writing/editing journey

  • neurodivergent

  • progressive

  • lovers of fantasy and romance

I’m still open to following more writers here! Give me a follow and I’ll follow back.

I have met some wickedly cool writers here on Substack. We’re exchanging ideas, smashing those heart buttons on posts, lending support… you all are great. Looking for:

  • Writers who are actively writing novels

  • Authors into selling books on their own website

  • People who enjoy humor, alliteration, metaphors, and themes

I love talking about writing as a craft while I’m actively writing. So you’ll see some of my musings on here. Looking forward to connecting!

My book is a real book! 📕

Let’s hear it for writers in their 50s!! Love seeing people share their words with the world at any age. And GenX women are showing up!

I am 50 and preparing to go to my first writing residency.

My friend

is 50 and she just got her first book deal.

Yes to more women writers finding their voices & opportunities at whatever stage of their writing lives!

I am so happy for Marie. Follow her journey in getting this incredible book published. She’s an exquisite writer and fantastic human being!

Love is in the Air and the Rain
