Happy 1st Birthday! I can't believe it's been a year. Also -> long, slow, stupid, fun - need to write this on a post it, so well said. And thank you for sharing our layoff to sabbatical course!
What a great frame to think about decisions. I'm working on creating an art book, which I intended as a gift to friends. But I thought I'd print extra copies in case people would like to purchase them and I'm toying between two options:
1. Selling the book as is, online or in real life.
2. Sending the book to people for free in exchange for a 1yr subscription to my Substack. I've never monetized anything of my own before so idk if this is a path I should go on? What if I'm pressuring myself by having this writing monetized? But at the same time, I could think of the writing as the complimentary gift to the art book?
I'm now thinking of this in the LSSF way. I'd write for the next year on Substack no matter what because it's fun. But what about LSS?

Why not both options??
....That's so true. I'll do that, thank you!
