I am ok with whatever you choose, maybe some guest writers too. This could take the burden off of you and give an opportunity to people who want the opportunity to write about art.

Thank you Lisa. I've thought about guest writers for a while. I'd like to be able to pay anyone who wrote a review. Although this Substack is financially supported, it's not quite enough to payroll other writers.

I think I'm going to do a mix of the options. I'll post twice a month, do a more indepth piece when warranted and short but lively posts when called for. They might come back to back or weeks between. It'll keep things fresh and fun ☀️

Understandable but don’t underestimate that writing on your blog offers an opportunity and your editorial skills which are worth a lot!!!

I crank these out week to week with no idea if they're having any impact. More revealing than a tech adjustment is this incredible outpouring of support. This alone inspires me to not only continue but with enthusiasm. I'm so grateful! xoxo

Kim, Any way you want to write, with the frequency and length that feels inspiring and timely to you is what I want to see. Don't grind things out unless that is what keeps you moving. If longer format motivates, I'd love to see that. If the cadence is two short, a gap and a long one, do that. Sharing your thoughts that inspired you to write is what I am looking for, not weekly diligence. <3

It's the grind that's been killing me. I'm thinking a blend of all the options, like you just laid out. Sometimes an in-depth post is warranted, sometimes a quick but lively post is what's called for. You're looking for the same thing I am! Thank you for your kindness, Ann, as well as your own creativity. This is what I love most about our community. I feel incredibly blessed to be part of it.

I enjoy seeing your posts often so maybe much shorter? Or if you’re really inspired you can write more. I love that you do this for the community

Thanks Steph. It's the frequency that's difficult. See a show weekly, take all the photos, edit, upload. Write it plus the links. If I want to take a trip I have to double down the week prior. It's a lot. If this were my only job, maybe. I want to keep my love for showcasing my community so I gotta create some breathing room.
