I appreciate what you are putting out there.

I have tried to get my writing out there and it's a grind. So I really get what you mean.

I just wanted to tell you that I love your work and feel your pain. The market has just taken a very depressing turn and it sucks to some extent on most days. Like you, I’m hanging in there, but it’s hard to keep doing that when you don’t see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.

That said, I think you’re brilliant. I’ve also noticed that the “keep going, you’re almost there” kind of messaging keeps showing up for me, so let me share with you as well. Trust your instincts and take a breath. I have no doubt that you’ll find your way, and I’m happy to follow. ❤️

Thank you for deciding to stay the course...as it were. I think those of us here who are also staying value your writing very much. Fact: you have to do what's best for you. If this is the best way, fine. If there's another angle you want, equally fine. With your last post I didn't know what to say...now I can say that I'm looking forward to what you'll do.

BTW, I did sign up for Splatter (I'm not much of a writer but I support a few...). If there's a refund, you'll get it back. If not, keep going!

I feel like singing "Where You Lead Me I Will Follow"

Like we do in Church.

What happens to our subscriptions to SI here on Substack, Jessica?

I'm working through options. For now, I'm going to turn off autorenew at Substack and keep my paywall down over at Ghost. At worst, your subscription here will just run out. If I can actually find a way to migrate subscriptions, I'll do that. Export/import tools are supposed to make that possible, but I can never get the Stripe IDs from Substack. I'm going to move slow so hopefully nobody falls through the cracks.

Turning off the auto-renew works for me, and no refund, please. I just subscribed to Splattered, and thank you.
