Never heard of substack— loving it! And feeling inspired by your dedication to writing on Wednesdays and Fridays. As a fellow writer trying to find out how to make my practice more consistent— It feels both ambitious and doable. This post feels full of focus and determination. I can’t wait to see what you do here.

As far as who Im listening to lately… check out @raisedtostay on instagram if you aren’t following her already— you’ll love her. I believe she has a podcast too but I haven’t listened to it yet… And her first book is coming out soon. Can you have her on your podcast?? 😝 I’m also really enjoying some perspectives from Mark Sandlin as well.

Thanks for being here and sharing, Samantha! I reference what led to my new writing schedule in the next A Longer Table Podcast episode that releases tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan 4) so you’ll get to hear the backstory there if you’re interested. And I did recently start following Raised to Stay and would definitely consider having her on the podcast sometime :)
