My inbox overruneth. I miss crucial emails from even my husband, so when I don’t see someone for a bit, I first wonder if it’s me. But I’ve noticed in general many of the Substack writers I’m subscribed to have fallen off, either not posting as often or at all. For me, after diligently posting twice weekly for a year, it was necessary to take a step back and set a schedule that allowed for more “margin” in my life, a term I’m borrowing from an author I’m currently doing editing work for. This kind of deep creative work can feel more performative than joy otherwise.
I think it's great to get this and to hear you've opened an office to see in-person clients is a fantastic reason to skip a few weeks. And now you're adding to the membership here. So much growth from stepping away for a little bit. And thanks for recommending that Atlantic article. I'll read it tonight :-)
Thanks for the shout out and other great recommendations 😊 Funnily enough, I'll be posting on the lasting effects of the pandemic today too - I've been wondering what we're doing with all our trauma from those years?
