A Quick Heads Up

Just a quick note to explain that the piece I got up at the crack of dawn to research and write about Hope Hicks’s testimony was eaten by Substack. Nowhere to be found in drafts! I hope your Sunday is going better lol.

Normally, because I first write a script for my video reels, I do all my drafting in Google Docs and cut and paste it over. That’s a much more secure platform. But on weekends, I don’t do video reels because I don’t have a video editor available, and so I usually just write directly in the Substack editor. Big mistake!

While I wait for someone from the Support Desk to get back to me—this has happened twice before, once with no ability to recover my work, and once with a partial restoration of it—I’m going to take this as a reminder to look on the bright side of things. After all, I could have written and lost all of it, instead just half!

I’m serving lunch here for 25 people for my friend’s birthday party in a few hours, and my editor is offline for the rest of the morning. So if I still publish my piece today, it will be tonight! 

The universe is telling me I shouldn’t write 7 days a week and should start to take Sundays off like I’ve been saying I will. Sigh.
