New Year New Grudge
After consulting with my therapist who also subscribes to this (Hi, Dr. B! I hope you’re having a good vacation! We’ll discuss mine upon your return!), it turns out I very much should be charging for the work and writing I do on here.
In 2024, I will keep writing this newsletter I love so much, and making half of my writing available to just paid subscribers. I do not entirely feel comfortable assigning monetary value to my writing because I am a fraud and have no inherently valuable thoughts, so we will discuss that on Wednesday at 2pm, Dr. B!
Thank you for upgrading. It keeps this going as I juggle the rest. I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoy writing it.
Love,
Bess
"I do not entirely feel comfortable assigning monetary value to my writing" is, I think, literally every woman who writes on Substack. You are laugh-through-tears funny and brilliant and deserve to be compensated for your work and I will be working with *my* therapist (Dr. D) on my inner monologue, which is uncannily similar to yours (and probably every other woman who writes on Substack). Anyway: thank you.
Let the record show I've been a paid subscriber for a few months now! ?! 🧡🧡!
