On Sunday I shared that I would like to use this space for joyful writing by other authors. The response was overwhelming---in the negative.
Several said if I changed the format, they would no longer pay to subscribe. The honest truth is that I need the money from this Substack to pay my student loan. Right now, it is my most reliable source of income.
I am extremely touched that so many of you want to hear my voice. I thank you for that. I think this means you will enjoy the book when it comes out.
Although it is still my dream to amplify joyful voices, it looks like this will not be sustainable at this time.
I will still continue to publish one guest post a month and hope to pay that writer an honorarium for as long as I have a helpful number of paid subscribers.
For now things stay as is with a weekly jolt of joy on Sunday mornings.
Next Monday, I will host a monthly Zoom for Paid Subscribers at 2pm PST. I hope to share our joy for the day and get a little preview of what I have been working on.
Thank you for supporting my work. I am very grateful.
Continue to forward posts you enjoy to help me reach new readers.
Also I created a list of books which informed me as I wrote the manuscript for Undaunted Joy, the book, coming out with Zondervan next Spring. Check it out. If you use my Amazon links, it will help pay for my website.
