I've taken the plunge

And I have to thank Emily Writes again.  Taking the plunge can be scary.  Turns out I needed someone to take me by the hand, lead me to the pool, and reassure me the deep end isn't so bad. 

(To clarify, my swim style is much like my approach to life: awkward breathing, a bit of flailing, and that weird feeling when people see you - actually you - with your protective outer layer pulled off.)

Substack is easy as: you don't need to worry.  You simply click through and read it, just like Facebook. And I’ll keep posting links to Facebook, so you won’t miss a thing.

Everyone is welcome.  If you're willing to register, that would be awesome, and it'll mean you can like my posts and make comments.

You don't have to pay - no judgement, no pressure, no questions!  Your support and friendship are pretty rad, as far as I'm concerned.  If you don’t prefer money, all I ask is that you pay in kindness, and recommend me to your friends.

At the same time, I've come to understand that it's OK to be paid for my writing mahi, by those who wish to and who can.  For myself, there will also be no pressure, no judgement, no questions.

My deepest thanks to those who've joined me on the journey so far.  I hope to see you for the next stretch.

I feel that I've almost certainly cocked up my Substack settings, so do tell me if it refuses your money.  ❤
