Today I published my first essay on freshstartpress.substack.com What an exciting way to begin 2023! I invite Guest Posts that capture life's momentous turning points. My own transformation began with the unravelling of a long marriage. What happened to you?
What a clever idea for a newsletter! I was a full-time caregiver for my mom for 8 years and she passed last month (December 9th) so I’ve been writing about and navigating both losing my mom & how unexpected the grieving process has looked despite preparing for it, and starting a new life and finding my new normal since I never left home and started caregiving almost immediately after graduating college.
Cierra, I'm so sorry for your loss. Even though you had 8 years to prepare for your mom's death, it's still a shock to lose her. Let yourself grieve (I found pouring out sadness into journals really helped) and you will gradually figure out what will give your life meaning. Thanks for commenting and good luck!
Thank you so so much, Pat! And I’m sorry, I wasn’t as specific as I needed to be with my wording. But death wasn’t expected majority of the time; it was manageable but she needed help. Things got worse a year before she died (hearing about the direction it was going made me start subconsciously planning back then, and then things got REALLY rough her last 3-4 months, which was when I think I really went through anticipatory grief).
But you’re right! It was a shock when it was “time.”
And writing has also been my saving grace during this time! As soon as she passed the ONLY thing I was interested in/needed to do was write.
Thank you for the advice! And I’m working on taking my time and taking it day by day ♥️
My wife and both failed at Forex trading several years ago, maybe 2006-2009? At the moment I can’t remember the guy’s name that used with training but will look it up later if anyone is interested. I will say in the span of just a few years we lost most of our savings. I wish I had it to do over, if I had the do over I do think we could be successful ? But it’s too late in life for me, I’m now 77 years old and all those dollars are long gone!
Happy New Year! I am new to Substack and found my way here by following writer, cook, and artist Kate Hill https://katehillfrance.substack.com/ Cheers!
Adam is so good, and I'm glad this particular post of his has received such attention. Here's my profile of Adam and his process, if you want an insider's look:
That newsletter about Barnes and Noble by Ted Gioia is one of the most interesting things I've read this year. Okay, it hasn't ben been a week but it's still a great read.
I have been working on becoming a more frequent, dedicated Substack writer. I was invited to this site by a fantastic writer, Sue Ferrera. Tales of a Wayward Yogini (https://waywardyogini.substack.com/) is her place. "Here you will read about life and aging---accepting the inevitable---with tools and inspiration for your journey". I invite you to visit. It is a comfortable place to hang out. My Substack is okay too. Vicki with an i
Has Substack thought about offering a bundle price for different substacks authors? But don’t give arbitrary ones. Instead do it by number of authors eg three would be one price, 5 another, and then 10 or more. Most can’t afford to do $5/month/author just as they couldn’t subscribe to a separate price for news reporter. If authors knew they’d get a guaranteed price for going with a bundle and hence more subscribers, you’d think they’d favor such a deal.
I started my own Substack in the summer of 2020. It's here https://rozenberg.substack.com and it's called A Lawyer Writes. It's mainly about legal developments affecting the United Kingdom. I'm delighted to see that another well-known UK legal commentator has just moved to Substack. He's David Allen Green and you can read his Law and Lore Blog here: https://lawandlore.substack.com We have different interest, experience and approaches. So there's certainly room for the two of us — and I hope many more.

It’s a great idea and one I know our teams are looking into 👀
I’ve been enjoying Jake Newby’s Concrete Avalanche (https://jakenewby.substack.com), about mostly independent music from China.
