"Marketing is something I’d venture most authors would rather pull their teeth out than do" made me laugh out loud! I'm a marketer by trade, so it comes a bit more easily to me; even so, there are days it makes me want to scream. I strongly relate to the notion that pressure can suck the joy out of writing. I'm trying to use Substack as a shield against that—a place where I can feel free to write what I want. Thank you for sharing!
What's funny is that I worked in marketing for years! But I think there's a big different when you're promoting your own things. Glad it made you giggle though 😁
Oh I love your monthly round ups! As I was reading this one, I was thinking one of my new favourite things to do will be waiting for your monthly summary. You are such a beautiful and brilliant writer. I feel like I’m at a café with you and you’re walking me through your month. Thank you so much for the review and the shout outs. I’m incredibly delighted to have met you. 🫶🏻
Oh my goodness I'm blushing! Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼 I'm so glad to have found kindred spirits here - and you are most definitely one of them 💙
You had me at 'gymslip grey', again at 'pootling about', and pretty much everywhere in-between. I'll be back when I've worked my way through the various thoughts and links. Could be a couple of days, so I wanted to at least acknowledge how much I enjoyed the big picture elements of the post. Happy March!
