Wrote a little something for today if you need it. 💜

Here We Are.
Pack Your Bags, Friends. We're Moving!

I have been on substack for awhile and I so appreciated the focus on small independent writers, but with each year it feels like substack is moving away from this mission- chasing the big $$. And I get it, but I don’t know how much longer I want to be a part of it.

I would just love to take a writing course or two (virtual preferred) during these winter months. Are there any you all would recommend (or hope to take)?

I was fired from my job today. And the former people-pleasing-high-achieving me did not spiral into nothing nor did I spontaneously combust.

I smiled during the meeting. The HR rep was extremely red, couldn’t look me in the eyes, voice was shaking. He knew it was bullshit but he was just doing his job. I hope he sleeps well tonight.

I’m ok…

Turned in another round of edits for my manuscript. Sent off another book proposal. Trying to end this year setting myself up well for 2025.
