Hi friend! I know it's the middle of the night on US time zones and all, but I just decided to post a new substack. I am not as prolific as you are, having exactly one paid subscriber and something like 70ish people on my email list. Whatever. I haven't promoted myself and do a lot of Kindle Vella in the side.

Hey G/A, that is so strange! You have two different substacks, yes? It took me a while to figure that out. I commented on the one, and then found your other one, and was like wow, lots more over here! Is that by design (two)?
I think, Amy, your work is like a feature film (or book) and my stuff is like a :30m sitcom/tabloid newspaper article. Way back in the day, I used to write for TV news, which comes in handy. Just bang it out on a very real deadline. Long time ago. But now there is no deadline, just my brain and trying to get it out and tangible!
Your stuff is soul searing, I don't know how to explain it, but I almost gear up a bit emotionally when I read your posts. That's not the kind of stuff that you can just mass produce. It comes from a different part of the brain/soul.
You shred my soul. I still will be making dinner or something and will think about you and Beth, that whole story. Just magnificent.
There is some real overlap, I think, in our respective pain, but I think you made it into adulthood far healthier than me. I flirt with madness.
edit to add: hope the new puppies are doing well, bet they are getting BIG!
I am still a subscriber as i received the email ....?
