Welcome, March
one month paid subscribership for free
Hello to March, the month for Spring and also for my birthday, and also 6 months of this newsletter being on Substack.
My present to you is 30 days free access to the paywalled stuff. You can check it out and maybe you decide you want to keep paying, which is nice for me, or maybe you don’t, and honestly that’s cool too.
I don’t want to sound like “act fast, this offer expires soon!” but it does expire on March 31. So you can actually act slowly and thoughtfully if you’re reading this on March 1.
Paid subscribers get access to an extra essay each month, as well as Q&As and photo story prompts. Also I am about out of Qs to A, so now’s your chance to ask me anything about writing, writing picture books, publishing, getting off social media, living in Maine?, having a dog?, whatever.
Thank you to all of you who subscribe at all! And extra special thank you to those of you who pay. Writing books is an unsteady way to make money, and having steady money coming in through Substack is freeing. Thank you.
Love both pics, but esp. the first one.
Those eyelashes! Or, iciclashes? Icelashes? Whatever, they're awesome.

Judging by one of your pictures I was concerned that the polar vortex got you a week or two ago.
