Francesca! Your honesty gives me hope. And I am so sorry for any cruel or ungenerous comments you have received. No matter what our minds tell us, our hearts can feel a little bruised when other humans thoughtlessly respond to our work. I am so glad you are here writing…still. This also gives me a little courage to go on. 🙏🏻💛

Hi Francesca, it’s lovely to make your acquaintance. I’m Rachel and relatively new to Substack and trying to fathom it still!

It’s very insightful to hear about your journey with writing here, the emotions you have to wrangle with and the bravery it must take to bear your soul then release it out into the world for human consumption. I look forward to reading more x x
