Love this A.B. Every time I have paused my Substack it's been absolutely the right decision -- and everyone has been super understanding, ready to receive when you get back. Enjoy your writing time xoxoxo
Absolutely the right decision, and I believe that the Substack community here gets it. That sometimes, we can't keep all the plates spinning. Looking forward to your return but in the meantime, funnel your energies into the things that are pressing takes priority!
Good for you! I’m still learning how to manage my workload to avoid creative burnout (in fact just wrote about this very thing myself) and it’s so good to see others being so open about it.
This is good! Like you’d said, you know your limits and you’re acting on what you need. I look forward to when you come back. I’m sure plenty of us will be happy when you do.
I’ve followed you on Instagram for a good few years now. I was huge fan of the photos you used to post holding up a book. Now I’m a huge fan of your newsletter. Reading your newsletter makes me feel like I’ve been transported back to the good old days of blogging 😊
ah thank you so much! I should do more of those book posts... not sure why i stopped. And yes, much more to come on the newsletter front in the coming months :)
Honouring your decision and loving the example you're setting for yourself and others! Giving ourselves permission to say no, to press pause, is often so hard. Looking forward to seeing what's next for BS and when you return xx
Thank you! Only so many plates we can spin at once. And Amen to your honesty and sharing your personal insight, to make it easier for others to do the same. X
