Our Midstack Friday Share Thread

Tell us about what you've written this week

It’s Friday, time to share your writing with other midlife women writing on Substack.

I’m away on vacation this week, renting a house in the Adirondacks with my brother, sister, and our families. I grew up in the area so it’s always special to share it with my own kids. This year my husband brought his little drone so we’re seeing lots of photos like this.

Over at our sister publication Midstory Magazine, you can read this week’s Midstory Reads, featuring 10 writers from last week’s Midstack Friday share thread.

Midstory Reads: 10 Essays by Midlife Women on Joy, Pain, Achievement, Books, and More

To join this week’s share thread, in the comments of this post:

• Introduce yourself and your Substack in a sentence or two

• Tell us what you’re sharing this week

• Drop the link to your post or Note

• Spend a few minutes on other people’s work too: comment, restack, like, or share

• Subscribe to anyone whose writing pulls you in

• Come back throughout the weekend and into next week

One extra thing: if something someone shares really moves you, say so on the piece itself, not just here. And if you’ve already engaged with someone’s work outside this thread, give it a like here too, so they know.

Join me for a free live workshop: 5 Myths About Going Paid on Substack. Whether you've been thinking about monetization but haven't taken the leap, or you've set up paid tiers and aren't sure they're working, we'll talk honestly about the fears and myths keeping midlife writers stuck — and how to use Substack's new Perks feature. July 14th, 1pm Eastern. Register for the Zoom link here.
