🏖️A Most Unreliable Narrator 🍹 Issue #194 Summer Holidays

I’ll be back after Labor Day

Dear Internet,

This past Tuesday I finished last week’s AMUN and Lisa Writes Stuff and instead of feeling elation that I have been keeping up with my weekly newsletter, I felt burned out.

It’s a lot of work to write, edit, organize, publish, and promote my newsletters since I do two a week. This is not including my fiction writing, and the responsibilities I took on writing for IBPF and No Flying, No Tights. The last two are one a month but it takes time. We haven’t calculated my paying jobs.

My writing labor is free.

Now, I don’t have any intention on shilling for monthly subs (though many have asked) because I’ve been writing online for free for over 20 years and paying for it just seems icky. (Plus, 3-10% of subscribers cough up monthly cash and my list is low enough that it just isn’t worth it.)

So, I’m taking a vacation, and the next issue will be September 8.

Last week I detailed what was either currently happening or coming up and it’s a fuck ton. Mr. Lisa has a standard 9-5 job so I’m the project manager for anything house related plus I work at the library plus my business. I’m also handling all my own marketing and graphic design. I nearly fell asleep at my desk the other day because I just felt so worn out.

The Blotter and Lisa Writes Stuff will continue because the first is cut and paste and the second is typically short issue.

If something exciting happens, of course I’ll whip out an issue but until then, see you September 8!
