I soooo related to the way you described the dance teacher. Very rarely, I’ve had the privilege of coming across a skateboarder who just commands everyone’s attention by the power, grace, and confidence they exhibit as they roll around. It’s always a spectacle and your description of your dance teacher reminded me of that experience. That and just the captivation that comes with finding your THING.
Indeed! It was life changing for me. Does this mean you’re eventually going to tell us about you discovering skateboarding??
Now that I have finnnnally finished editing the coin belt vid (that was plugging up the works for Months!) I may actually get some forward momentum around here. In both writing and reading. 🤪🤣🤓
I really should share more of my skateboard writing on here, but at the moment I’m keeping a lot of those pieces under lock and key because I’m not sure yet which ones are going to make it into the book I’m working on and which ones I’ll share here. But yes, eventually haha.
Ahh how lovely it is to get a project finished up — the excitement of what to dive in to next is always tantalising. Enjoy that freedom! :)
Indeed! And ohhhhh yes. That’s a good reason to hold them back. I finally decided that this place IS my book. That’s why I wish they had better navigation tools for serials.
That’s actually a very cool way to look at it. Doing the independent thing as always resonated with me as I’ve always made skate videos and other art that way. This book will actually be first first attempt at some sort of traditional publishing route, so we will see how we go — and it’s nice to know substack and other Indy routes are there as well.
Yeah I know, right!? It almost seems like serials aren’t encouraged haha
Indeed. I learned the hard way that agents and traditional don’t go with my TBI. And watching my friends navigate Amazon fuckery…I so hope you can find the perfect publisher!!! 🤩
Ugh. Yeah. Somebody made this suggestion of allowing personalized playlists like Spotify and YouTube which would be sooooo amazing!!!

Same here! Haha
Yeah the YouTube playlists work pretty well — that would certainly be better. :)
