Oh God, Tree. I so need a saner schedule. Maybe I'll try assigning different days to different things. Trying to split the day 6 ways is exhausting. This was a great post. Has Newsbreak crashed for you yet? I've heard some people say their gravy train ended.
nope, it's still paying for me. I'm not sure if the terms will end at the end of this month but I'm willing to wait and see. I'm willing to write according to their terms for now. I look at it as a paying job where I've received a specific assignment.
Glad to hear that. I'd applied back during the crazy but never heard back. Then I realized I was having an email issue, so I'm not sure if they responded and I didn't get it, or if they didn't reply. Might have to try again!
Tree, thanks for emailing this to me. What a coincidence you write this, I was wondering how you, with everything you were already doing in a day on Medium and Slack and then taking on News Break too, could manage it all.
The only way I can do it is to shut everything out for between 6-10 hours per day. This week I've found I enjoy doubling up by making a Medium and a NB story from one. I tailor the original to Medium's requirements and then adapt another copy to NB.
Your way sounds cool and I am glad you've found a way to do both. And still have a life, lol! Karen
Thanks Karen, one of the things that I have fallen behind with is this letter on substack. It's nice to know you're still there. I love your system. Two for one is a great idea.
