This was the post I needed to read today. First off, Olga's book was an important read for me a couple of years ago, so I'm glad you reminded me. Second, I'm in the throws of sorting through those overworked essay bits... and finding Substack is a perfect place to test them out in 300 words or less. If the story wants more of me, I can tell. If it's cool at that short, post length, then that's good too! Thank you for this newsletter!
I publish an invitation to other storytellers to share 150 - 200 words off of a theme/prompt I write every Monday. The consistency and container work well... not much time for over-thinking or self-editing and just enough focus to get something down! https://thatplaceulove.substack.com/ (#binders)
