That constant running narration in your head? My husband had that; I say "had" because he doesn't talk about it anymore. He didn't like that he couldn't turn it off.

That is kinda great that he had this too (even though he didn’t like it). Maybe he’s secretly a writer.

In his case, I think his life is his art. He's had lots of admirers, and was told by one woman he didn't know that he had an aura.

I said yes, bring it on, because I don't read fiction on Substack -- just a personal choice. It sounds like you are tempted, so you should try and see how it goes and feels for you. I do think daily posts don't always get read by as many people, but if they get read by some each time, why not?

I get it, Betty. I am thinking about something in between.. like 3 posts a week plus fiction whenever the fiction is done!

I subscribed to your account when one of your parents (forget which) linked to you. I guess I thought I'd be getting from you the kind of stuff Janet writes, rather than fiction. Now I'm kind of sad because apparently you have several (don't know exactly how many) accounts, but I only subbed to one, and I'm not even sure which one it is because I can't be arsed to go check in my settings. I don't like that it's hard to follow all of you.

What I want is pure Sandalore plus the dog by whatever name you want to give him. I like the vignettes into daily life, even when life is boring (to you, at least, lol) and just about staring at the walls and throwing the ball for the dog. I'm fascinated by the way other people live their lives.

Hello, it’s me, Kath from across the sea. I will hang with you until I die, which could be anytime now. I’m joking 🙃 Hope not anytime soon. You be you, you are charming, interesting,intelligent and best of all quirky.

I wish all those decades! My only paid subscriptions are you, your sister Cindy, the awesome talented Stepmother and Charlie. I love what each brings to my life, although your Dad’s great informative interviews might raise my BP, I’m locked in.

We need a “tell me 50 interesting things about yourself” that only Sandy would qualify for. 😎
