Great to see you here Abigail, and what wonderful advice. You and Megan have given me the courage that I too have “something to say”. Can’t wait to read more x

Every reason you described was a reason I talked myself out of launching a Substack. But that's why I decided to finally be 'brazen" enough to do what I feared (and why I called my publication Brazenface). So excited to follow along and support your writing here. It's got a ton of momentum already.

(I'm also mid-way through The Artist's Way, so I am here for your Cameron references)
