High five to paywalling. I think it says that you respect your own writing and see its value. And knowing that a lot of writers look up to you, I also think that it expresses to them to do the same. Cannot wait for the book!
I mean, I’ve always valued my work; it’s the readers who have read without subscribing while having the means who haven’t valued it. I think the narrative on what a paywall means is skewed. If I hadn’t proven the worth of my work many times over, I wouldn’t paywall, and I find expensive paywalls for individual writers absurd. But this is just me lol — I don’t think people should paywall everything out of the gate.
Oh I know you've always valued your work :) And don't get me started on the ridiculousness of every single person needing to have an annual subscription rate to make things work. But I think writers like who regularly vocalize why it's important to value creative work (whether that's through monetary value or otherwise) is essential, so I am grateful for it.
You’re right! Sorry I get weird about the whole thing because it’s frustrating—I like to work in public but I can no longer sustain it because media at large no longer functions to make up the difference
Happy almost 5 yr anniversary! Can’t wait to read the new book. And $30/yr is a STEAL for access to FTDOAK.

I mean, it's a weird landscape! I think we all feel weird about it in some way shape or form.
Trad wives! I am HERE for that! And yes, you’re worth it.
Do you mind sharing what book that is in the snapshot?
BE CREATIVE! It’s linked in Monday’s bibliography—so good!
Thank you!
Yes what you underlined was very compelling
I can't believe your transcribe those meet up. Jesus.
I pay someone to do it! I think it’s important.
