VERY EXCITE

Erica Drayton's avatar

This is awesome and I am HERE for it! It reminds me of Ben Wakeman's In the Works series that he does! YAY!

Just saw this, so missed the chance to bump my cheap monthly up to a cheap annual. But $70 a year is worth it to support quality work.

Note to self - DO get caught up in Substack. I am restarting my own writerly projects, so maybe I need to follow fewer of those informative yet depressing political blogs.

Very excited you’re sharing this process with us! I’m also currently revising my first novel.

Ooooooh! Ahhhhh! (Imagine the little green aliens from “Toy Story”) But seriously, I love a good writing vlog (and have my own over at YouTube in such a casual way it feels like I’ve my own tiny corner to chat to). I’ve been hesitating about moving to paid for aaaages, and now I’m just gonna have to do it. As you’re an editor too, I’m sure you’ve got this, and have people off-screen to bounce things off of, but ✋ I volunteer as tribute if needed.

My question: is that a light/candle sconce on the wall near the light switch?

S.E. Reid's avatar

Yes it is! I actually have a matching one (sans glass tealight holder) near the main office door (the door in frame in the video is a closet).

They lived in our family’s cabin for ages and when it got a much-needed update and redesign recently, the sconces came to live with me. 😁

I love that you have them!

Circling back in to note that within the app, subscribing is $60/year and as soon as I get off the couch, I’ll see if it’s the lower price on desktop.

Leanne Shawler's avatar

Circling circling back to say the price is definitely lower on the web browser/laptop version, only it's put it in Australian dollars instead of US and so I am hopeless at conversion but the calculator app tells me this is indeed the lower price.

S.E. Reid's avatar

Thank you so much for checking, Leanne! One of the reasons I’ve decided to raise the price to the Substack minimum is indeed because of the discrepancy between the app and the desktop (something I can’t control, annoyingly). It’s been an issue for ages and I’m hoping that matching them will cause less confusion. ❤

Fantastic S.E.! Ambitious (not derogatory) and FANtastic! And the nod toward Sayblood's Children as a prequel just made my day, because I don't think you can have one without the other now! Yes, this is a good day!

I cannot WAIT to have a copy of F&F to lend/give to people!

E.B. Howard's avatar

This is such a great idea. :D

H. A. Titus's avatar

I’m so excited for this!!!

Bridget Riley's avatar

Yay!!!! I thought I couldn’t be more excited about this, but I was wrong! I also love getting a peek at your revision process.
