New from Beautiful Hangover…
We are getting more and more high-quality submissions, and it’s really exciting. So thanks for reading, and thanks to those of you who write great stuff for us too : )
Thanks to Doran Lamb, Megan Holstein, Jade Porter, Javier Ortega-Araiza, Amanda O’Bryan, David Sales, Liam Sturt, James Fox Jeffries for helping broaden the perspective of BH. (Links are missing when I couldn’t easily find the writer handle, apologies!)
I published possibly my most personal story ever at Fearless She Wrote this week — is it unfeminist to teach your daughter not to drink? — and have been feeling a bit vulnerable about it as a result. Especially as I received a not especially compassionate comment as a result.
It made me wonder, how do you decipher what you are comfortable sharing in your writing? And when you are reading personal essays, do you ever think, This is too much? I’d love your opinions. Let me know in the comments
In other news: to help make Beautiful Hangover more sustainable, I have moved my own writing about drinking and sobriety onto Substack. From now on, I will publish my stories there first. If you want to support me so I can write more of these stories, and finish my book on sobriety ❤, please consider taking out a subscription. Or encourage your rich pals to do this. : )
