Substack Celebrations & Shiftings in 2023
Thank you so much for being here and reading my words. Every subscribe, every share, every comment means so much. I do this for connection and having more interaction with you here on Substack this year has been amazing.
A special thanks to paying subscribers who have pledged to support my work.
Your ongoing subscriptions help me…
Provide transcription services for podcast episodes
Invest in new gear (like my swank audiobook microphone and 360 camera)
Pursue creative work that isn’t commercially driven (like the This is My Brain on Motherhood series)
The works supporters have funded this year include…
The audiobook for Discover Your Creative Ecosystem.
This poem.
As well as works in progress including bricolage, soft sculpture, performance art piece, and the 360 VR installation pictured below. I’m excited about digging into all of these and telling their stories next year.
Slowing Down
This past year I’ve enjoyed writing for Substack every week, but this year I am slowing things down. I want to have more time between posts so I can record more podcasts and make more behind the scenes videos (like this one well over a year ago!)
Because I’ll be posting less frequently I’m removing the paywall for most posts with a special bonus podcast for paid subscribers every three months.
I’m planning to post fortnightly instead of weekly. (If you don’t live in a Jane Austen novel that means every other week.) 😉 One post will be here at Down the Rabbit Hole. The other post will be at .
I may occasionally share a bonus post if I have extra bandwidth and something I’m excited to share. (Like I did with my self publishing book timeline.)
You may have noticed I’ve changed my mind about combining these two lists. I was planning to do this, but I noticed that they are attracting slightly different groups of people so I am going to keep two lists for now.
More Discussion
The weeks between my fortnightly posts I’ll be hosting discussions on the chat feature of the Substack app.
Discover Your Creative Ecosystem Book Club will discuss one chapter of my book each month.
And I will also be hosting a sharing thread for The Magic Mundane (inviting you into my collaboration with .)
Paying Subscribers
Bonus content for paying subscribers will come once each season (about every three months). I am envisioning a behind the scenes podcast (with transcript) about my creative process.
You’ll also have early access to Kindle Curiosity podcast interviews and exclusive access to the podcast video feed.
Also on the horizon for next year…
Reviving my creative motherhood book project as an anthology! (So excited to officially invite collaborators in the new year. Reach out if you are interested in contributing.)
My guide to self publishing (not sure how long this will take to finish, but I’ve almost completed the first draft.)
Two book projects for autistics by autistics (both are collaborations which I am super pumped about! You will hear more soon!)
Two more secret projects that involve creative community. 🥰
Ok, that’s a wrap on 2022! I hope you all have a cozy evening.
See you in the new year,
Sarah
P.S. Trying to find this emoji 💫 and Google has just informed me that it is supposed to mean “dizzy”. I’m just going to forget that and keep using it literally. It’s obviously a shooting star. 💫
