I think of my Substack as a blog and as a journal. I tried the Artist's Way too - not for me!

I enjoy the mix of interesting information and personal experiences that make up the Substacks that read more like a blog… yours included!

You have given this 80 year old permission to ease up on perfectionism and continue scouring my chair side table for one of my notebooks to jot down “pretentious claptrap” and “vapid and bizarre jargon.”

You definitely have my permission to ease up on perfectionism. It’s vastly overrated in my opinion!

I'm a list maker not an ideas-noter but your article is food (cake??) for thought. Thx! Janet

(And I'm determined to use the term "vapid and bizarre jargon" sometime this week in a conversataion)

I’m also a compulsive list maker Janet! Do let me know if you manage to use ‘vapid and bizarre jargon’ - brilliant phrase 😂

It won’t surprise you to know that I’m not offended by the term ‘art bollocks!’ I am however, getting pretty fed up with Instagram- it was a great space and now it’s nearly all adverts. On the plus side, I am regularly bombarded by Harry Styles who is a great style icon! 😂😂💕💕

Thank goodness for that. I might have to question our friendship if you were so easily offended 😉

Happy Easter Gill, hopefully there is chocolate involved. Xx
