Hello!..My Daily Chasers!💌
- - - - Welcome & Welcome Back! - - - -
It is an absolute gift and blessing to return here to my lovely, loyal and very patient people who are subscribed or follow my not-so-daily “UNTIL NOW” (she shouts) newsletter & podcast, The Daily Chase!💌 which has prompted me to allow myself to sip on the teacup of ‘confidence’ once in awhile and give back to my perfectly loyal and patiently waiting readers. It’s a bit mad isn’t it, how once you acquire a new subscriber - then automatically - you kind of imagine or tell yourself “Shit! they will be expecting me to produce what I have promised and if I don’t they will be actually ‘waiting’ for me!!!” then panic.. "OMGomgOMG” - Do you do that too? It might just be me because I still consider myself to be just starting out here on Substack after joining between July and September last year. I remember 2023 being the first time in my life that I decided I had to embrace my natural urges, passions and drive to write; before which time I spent my spare time making music mixes and did it semi-daily for fun. In the space of 2019-2021 I had accumulated nearly 300 mixtapes, a huge back catalogue of work. The beautifully kind wake up call came to me in the form of my first ever FEEDBACK and recommendation for my newsletter, which I was too afraid to comment on, due to being in a bit of a low self-esteem emotional slump (and not discarding the actual truth that I am awkwardly, weird and strangely a super-shy person sometimes) however, I was so pleased and proud that I liked and re-stacked of course, thought about at least saying THANK YOU and reluctantly let the moment pass because I distracted myself with immediately taking a screenshot( in case I had been dreaming! )
I am delighted to have been mentioned as a suggestion for something interesting to read which appeared recently in this post of: The Fiertzeside newsletter. *subscribe!*
THIS is where I realised that in my haste to work out a set format for my secondary Substack (which is what TDC actually was) I had pulled myself far too back and have to start pulling my finger out again. My main baby is *NEW* JUSTCLINGINGON (newsletter) go check out my most recent post and please *SUBSCRIBE!* anytime:
RE: THE DAILY CHASE!💌 I have came up with a plan which is both beneficial to my mental health, my mood, my writing experience and a welcome change to my mornings, not to mention a little tidbit point of interest to yourselves.
THE PLAN IS A DAILY DROP OF SOMETHING OF ANY SIZE
personal updates
morning news
music (maybe)
short form
long form
anything… just at least one check it everyday
Today’s DAILY DROP - Saturday 20 April 2024
Audio Story: The Toad Prince by Chuck Palahniuk read by Scott Sours
I thought we might start our first Daily Drop (DD) with a nice little adult story, written by CHUCK PALAHNIUK (my new favourite writer) called THE TOAD PRINCE and narrated by Scott Sours which I was delighted to come across this sedate Saturday morning:
