Very, very interesting! Would Substack be an effective place to publish chapters of a novel? I've dabbled in the platform, but I still don't understand it. I'm using it to keep my "blogger" writing muscle in shape. It's a nice place to reflect on my work week.

Why is it that affluent writers like Margaret Atwood use all their "bird money" to help struggling writers? These are the same people who always complain about the decline in the arts. Somebody should throw that idea in their face the next time they use their platform to complain about all the money they have.

I'm equally irritated when famous actors host quiz shows. Let some struggling actor host the quiz show! Other people gotta eat!

Anyway, thanks for writing!
