Shout Out To New Musers! #22

Gained Some, Lost Some, Thank You To Those Of You Who Have Chosen To Stick With Me!

Hello, hello Fellow Musers! April has been a crazy-ass month, but somehow we’ve made it! I actually forgot what day it was and that I was suppose to have a Shout Out ready for y’all to read this morning, but after repeated reminders from my laptop’s clock since I’ve been home from work, I finally remembered!

We also have had some new subscribers join us this month, so please help me in welcoming them!

(I promise I didn’t forget you, Newest Fellow Musers-I just forgot to pre-write your Shout Out post. Sorry!)

Welcome To New Fellow Musers!

Jayla!

Thank y’all so so much for joining this smol-yet-ever-growing-corner of Substack! I look forward to seeing you in the comments (if you feel comfortable publicly commenting, of course!)

If you don’t feel comfortable with a public comment, you can always email me via a post that possibly intrigued you to want to start a conversation, and you can also DM via the Substack app/website as well (because I’m assuming that most of you don’t have my phone number, and nooooo I will not give it out)!

Joking aside, thank y’all again for joining this Substack! I also occasionally put stuff in that Chat thang that very few people seem to know about, even though I see writers talking about it all the time. You can access the Chat via the Substack app or website. I have it set to where you can start your own threads, just please remember that BossLadyCat Nalia keeps an eye on the Chat and will let me know if something smells off =^_^=

I thank you again, and I send many Hearty Huzzahz your way!

Fellow Musers, I would just like to take a moment and say to those of you who are still with me

Thank you for sticking with me!

I recently released a very opinionated political post (after, of course, releasing two non-political posts), and I have been nervously keeping an eye on my subscriber count since then. I will stop that now, except to see who has joined so they can get a Shout Out post. Over the past week, this Substack has fluctuated between 138 to 135 subscribers. The number for today is currently 136 subscribers-this includes both our newest Fellow Musers as well as many Fellow Musers who have been with me since I started writing on this platform. I know that number may not seem much, and I know that there are writers out there who don’t care if someone leaves or stays…but I do. Which is why I say to the peeps who’ve stayed…

If I could hug each and every one of you, I would!

Sorry for the large words, but I do feel the need to show y’all some extra extra love and appreciation! I know not all of you who receive the emails of the posts read them on post days (whenever they are), but I do know that a good portion of y’all read my posts via email and/or the Substack app, no matter how often I post or miss a post’s deadline! I know I say this alot, but thank you for sticking around!

To the Fellow Musers who left after I published that post…(and who also left before I did)…

Y’all are welcome back anytime! I miss you already! I wish you had answered the email that gets sent when someone unsubscribes to let me know why you left-even if you feel the reason may be dumb, or you feel that it may not matter. But you are welcome to come back-we’ll be here <3

In other Musings news…

I am slowly working on my first Deep Dive, and I am determined to have it out by May (not tomorrow, but sometime after tomorrow and before June 1st *wink*). I’m very excited for y’all to read it, and I would honestly love some feedback on it once it’s out!

The next week is…

going to be pretty busy for me. I will have my final next week, and I’m hoping that this will be The Final that will get me to Finally be free from being an undergrad student! I am also working on my grad school application and I’m hoping to get it turned in before I take my final next week. Please knock on all the wood and woody things that you can find and send good vibes my way <3 I will also accept long-distance cat purrs, encouraging puppy dog barks, and images of lemurs being adorable!

Welp, that’s all I got!

Thank you again to the Fellow Musers who joined us in April! Thank you always to you, Fellow Musers, who continue to stay on and read my work! Y’all are all awesomesauce <3 <3 <3

Carpe Diem and Huzzah!
