Writings and Reverie

Hello, Friends! This is a short and sweet hello to welcome you to my new project of writing and reverie. I will publish one essay a week here on Substack for you, my lovely readers and writerly folk, to elevate and uplift, to offer clarity and honesty in a time of darkness. Like a lot of writers, I write as a way to know what I think. My intention, as always, is to begin with something I know (or don’t) of my own little world in order to say something meaningful about the life we live together. I will share a new piece of writing here every Wednesday, and you’ll also get a newsletter in your inbox.

Occasionally, I will share prompts and invite readers to join me in a writing practice or to share work. You’ll also be getting bonus pieces from friends, students and interesting people with whom I am lucky enough to share this life — as well as poetry (bad poetry, most likely, unless it’s someone else’s!), drawings (even worse!), photos, videos, and other treats. You’ll be able to comment, participate, share your own work with me, and be in touch and engaged as little or as much as you’d like. I’m so happy to be here and happy that you are, too.

Ever grateful, 

Hollie Sue
