This: "On writing: I really love writing and I also hate writing. I think most writers feel that way. You’re like, writing’s hard and I hate it. And you’re like, but I would die if I didn’t do it."
I begged, I cajoled, I flung myself on the floor and pounded the linoleum.....asking Alison for an interview; but HAMISH, you and Alison are such a merry combination, so serious, so delicious, I couldn't be prouder to have lost out, and to have this interview appear on Substack!
It wasn't the "entire world", Alison. It was a handful of immature, over-privileged, self-promoting, and, frankly, racist people who attacked you. It still makes me furious. This white Brit doesn't want her largely Asian-American family to be treated as anything other than the individuals they assuredly are. Those people can get stuffed. And we love your "cultural appropriation stew" round our house 😂
I hate the term keto since it’s been hijacked by the processed food industry. My wife-a clinical dietitian-makes some incredible low-carb (keto) desserts.
Alison, I don’t know you but I like you. Hang in there and remember your enemies won’t ever care who you really are and your real friends won’t care about such an innocent comment. Focus on what matters-- friends and family
Hamish, off topic, but I’m trying to invest in Substack, Wefunder page is not working to use credit card! Sent a note in another thread too, if you can’t tell, getting desperate.
Well,, I am 69 going 70... and it was so damn hard retiring, but getting back into marketing and writing at my age, I can bitch,, you are only in your thirties. I remember having to put in a credit card to get into aol.com phase 1... and dial in.. So.. get to chatgpt.
I'm 25 and already feel like I can't keep up with social media as a writer either, so this is very appreciated.

One million heart emojis!

Because Instagram is boring!!!

I liked reading this. It’s refreshing Substack didn’t pump out another run-of-the-mill “success” story filled with platitudes and fake meritocracy.
Something just hit me, I’m sure I’m not the only one. The year 2020 being really shitty-hindsight is 2020-think about it 🤔
I love food and chats - excited to listen

Loved these words on writing! ✍️

Love her and her authenticity! Her YouTube show is perfect.
