Love it! Color me weird too. Copywriting is what pays the bills (for now) but fiction is where my heart is. And this is great stuff. Love "you trusted me harder." Such an interesting concept.

Kate, that’s great! So you’re still writing for a living. 🙌

I had a long discussion yesterday with someone about writing as hobby and writing to pay the bills. Two totally different games and the leap from one to another is huge.

That's right! Or I guess I should say, that's write 😂

Awww. I'm worth Substalking?

That made my day.

Sam Oldman's avatar

Absolutely!

Though I’ll bet you’ll be the initiator.

Initiate my own stalking?

Sam Oldman's avatar

I meant you are such an active substacker, that you might initiate the first contact before someone gets to substalk you. 😎🫶

The set of poems here really resonated with me. You're tapping into a vein for sure.

🤗🤗🤗❤️🌼 apparently making a living off your writing is not a thing in this day and age. You must do it as a hobby for a decade first, and maybe some day.. :)))

But I don't want to work for a living.

I want to write and create shit.

Why do I always have to compromise?

Cannot universe just bend a little? 🪄

Aww. Thanks so much for the shout out. I am truly hopeful that I can build a template for the modern creator experience. Things are changing so fast, in all directions, and I’m not sure the tools are keeping up.

As always it is a joy to see your unique talents play out.
