This week marks the one year anniversary of the publication of I’M MOSTLY HERE TO ENJOY MYSELF. Thank you to all of you who’ve supported the book. I’m a big believer that despite all the focus on pre-orders and bestsellers lists, the only surefire way for a book to succeed is word of mouth and I’m very grateful for the way this strange little book marches along in the world. Which brings us to the other news this week. We just sold a fun follow-up! Good Decisions is a reader-supported publication.

The only reason I can continue writing and working as an independent feminist voice out of middle America is because people pay to subscribe to this newsletter. Become a paying subscriber and support the voices you want to hear more of in this world. After I ended my 12-year marriage in 2018, I decided that unless the health insurance marketplace collapsed, I didn’t want to marry ever again.

When Canadians say they don't want to be part of America, they really mean it. And they know what they are talking about. Canada, where I was born and raised, has always had a peculiarly intimate knowledge of the United States, and not only because many Canadians spent winter breaks in the back seat headed south on I-95. But if Canadians are at all times aware of their southern neighbor, the reverse isn't true.

Re-sharing some introductory words I wrote last year …Hi Readers,I’m not quite sure I’m ready to sum up 2024 yet - but one thing I always enjoy at the end of each year is looking back at the books I read. (I use Goodreadsto track my reading each year and find it really helpful, with the caveat that I have to manually enter audiobooks and/or books I didn’t read via Kindle). This year (again), I wanted to share images of the books I read as well as a short sentence/blurb about them.

The first time a much younger man responded to my profile on a dating app, I was amazed. I thought it was a fluke. A glitch in the algorithm. I was in Paris, at the tail end of the pandemic, which I had spent largely alone. Like alone, alone. I had not spent lockdown on Zoom first dates. Or socially distancing in a pod. I was very by myself. Now, here I was, solidly in my mid-40s, slowly reemerging back into the world of… I’m not sure dating would be the right world. Fraternizing, perhaps?

Since 2010, invariouspublications, I’ve interviewed authors—mostly memoirists—about aspects of writing and publishing. Initially I did this for my own edification, as someone who was struggling to find the courage and support to write and publish my memoir. I’m still curious about other authors’ experiences, and I know many of you are, too. So, inspired by the popularity of The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire, I’ve launched The Memoir Land Author Questionnaire.

Part of her plan was to spend time with friends, enjoying the city and whatever cheese and wine might be on offer.
