I’m not sure it is something specific to your situation. With so many writers leaving established media (WP, NYT, etc.), we are confronted with a barrage of new subscription requests from individuals and small groups of writers, and it’s difficult to sort out which to allocate our time and money to.

Are you explaining how you learned the dolphin kick?

I imagine days like this are what you train for.

All the best. I’ve appreciated your thoughts and points of view over the years (and platforms) as we’ve bumbled along on this wacky journey. Thanks, and I look forward to your next phase.
