Yo Reader, check me out!

I started a Substack this week, after overthinking it for five years. And, in my own meta fashion, that’s what my first Substack is about.

I could import my email list over there and send you everything I write, which would just be like getting another email from me except a little different-looking and different-feeling. I’d instantly have 35k Substack subscribers, which would make me look pretty cool.

Thing is, I really want you to subscribe yourself. I want you to want to.

​Want to? Click here to get my new newsletter, “Woo-Adjacent.”

If you don’t already know why I call it that, my next post will explain. Subscribe and you’ll get it tomorrow or in the next few days. It’ll send when I hit a certain number (that you’ll help me reach).

I have zero clue what I’m doing over there, and I kind of love that. I decided it’s where I write just for fun. Not that my emails aren’t fun to write, but they’re not JUST for fun. They’re for money, too. And that means I can’t totally freeball it. Gotta get in that CTA. Sometimes the CTA drives the writing. “What’s a story that illustrates the value of this offer?”

That’s an art in itself, but a more careful one. (My tool, The Point Finder, helps a lot.)

On Substack, my writing drives the writing. You heard right. It’s free-range. Unchecked. Off the leash, and free to chase that squirrel or roll in god-knows-what.

I will roll in petty, in superficial, in overthinking, in cringe, in trying-too-hard and in not-wanting-to-do-squat. Except over there, I’ll call it sh*t, not squat, but without the polite asterisk. And get ready for spelled-out f-bombs. That “u” in between my f and ck is going to have its day in the sun!

So why sign up if you already get these Talking Shrimp emails? Consider these home and the Substack a field trip, except with the bad teacher who lets you smoke.

(I don’t smoke or approve of smoking but I always loved the bad teacher.)
