You’re receiving this because you’re an email subscriber and because many of you joined in the past several days, I wanted to point out it’s an ongoing struggle to focus on giving you enough writing each week to feel good about supporting my work without flooding your inbox!
Moving forward, I’ll generally be publishing new pieces on Mon, Weds, and Fri. (often just twice a week) — these will typically be essays on the sheer volume of things in our world that interest me, and there will always be an audio/podcast version for those who prefer it.
But if you ever have feedback or suggestions, tell me! If there’s something you’d like to see me write about, comment with it below. It would make my day.
Paid subscribers: I’m still brainstorming ways to incentivize your monetary support, for which I’m quite grateful. If you have a great idea for a way I can show my appreciation, don’t be shy! Shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com
If you’re not a paid subscriber, I’m just grateful you signed up with your email. It means so much to have your support. Let me know if there’s a way I can earn your paid subscription. (But please don’t feel pressure. I know times are tough. It’s enough that you read what I write.)
Oh, and I hope y’all enjoyed yesterday’s piece. It felt quite cathartic to write. <3
It not only moved me to tears, it moved me to subscribe AND to get off my but*, join Substack, and start writing MY story in a way that keeps me accountable. You're a rock and my touchstone. Thank you!
Hello Charlotte, I really loved the piece yesterday, poignant, touching on so many aspects of the emotional experience, generous in the vulnerability. I don't have any specific suggestions because I always vote with my dollars - BIPOC artists, organic/fair/local retailers, Indie bookstores, family owned neighbourhood markets, etc. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness, perspective, sincerity, and creativity in anything you chose to write! All the best to you today and every day! You are a national treasure.
It’s the mental/emotional lift for me friend. It’s so easy to get into the doom scrolling mode and stay in a blue funk all day. Thanks for the grounding. Hugs.
I adore everything about you. Just keep writing and being you. I so appreciate how inclusivity is non-negotiable for you — you’re the queen of intersectionality.
I’ve enjoyed following you on Twitter. The subscription has been well worth the money. Your writing voice is clear and wonderful. Yesterday’s post made me think someone was cutting onions. Or maybe there was pollen. Or dust. Something. Anywho, keep writing. Your thoughts are a welcome addition to the day!
Yesterday's piece knocked me flat. Wow. Keep doing what you do and thanks.
Your emails are little nugs in my day. I savor them, and quote them, and forward them. ;) Keep them coming! :D (and my vote is for more catharsis!)
Yesterday's piece was lovely. It made me take a deep breath and start looking outside my currently small Covid-19 world. Keep doing your thing.

Just keep doing what you're doing, Charlotte!

Hi Charlotte-I support you for your insight and content, not quantity!
Wanna “incentivize” my support?
Keep writing ……I love it, and it’s worth EVERY penny.
Other than that? I’m good…..I think we’re all good😋
You just keep being you and sharing with us. It’s a privilege to value you
Thank you for the gift of your writing; yesterday's piece will stick with me for a long time.
I loved yesterday’s piece. Thank you.
