What Did You Write This Week?
Our Friday Share Thread and a New Workshop
Happy Friday, Midstackers!
I didn’t spend much time on Substack this week, and I’m excited to catch up on what writers in our community published this week.
These Friday share threads will now be a weekly free feature of Midstack.
Please don’t be shy about sharing your posts. No matter where you are on your writing or Substack journey, your voice matters, and I have no doubt that your words will resonate with others in our Midstack community and that you will find some pf “your people.”
A New Workshop
Our 3-week writing workshop “Writing Through Loss and Grief” will start March 24th. Led by instructor and author Anne Pinkerton, the workshop will include weekly Zoom meetings, readings, prompts, and writing feedback.
Through the HerStories Project, we’ve been leading writing groups and courses for midlife women for more than a decade. Are you interested in partnering with us to teach a workshop to our HerStories Project community?
💬 Please share a recent Post or Notes in the comments. Introduce it with a sentence or two, and please make sure to like, share, or restack a few other writers from the thread.
I truly appreciate these opportunities to share. Thank you so much for this community, Jessica!
I wrote this long, meandering essay about everything that came up for me when my daughter got a splinter last week. It was sort of a journey 😂.

I love this opportunity to share and support. Thank you Jessica for organizing it.
This week, I published an essay about how the trend toward mid-life women is to not color their hair, rather letting their natural gray grow out. However, there are some of us who still want to color our hair and we shouldn't be judged for doing so. I interspersed the Women's Movement from the 1970s into the piece to make the statement that we are all sisters regardless of our hair choices.
