You guys, we’re heading into the last of the spring slate of Ass in Chair Collective meetups! It’s so fun to see the friendships and camaraderie growing as we continue to show up for our creative work each week— no matter how chaotic that looks sometimes 🌪️
Speaking of which, Monday’s session is a special treat for paid subscribers: Nancy Reddy will be joining us as a guest host!

Nancy is the mastermind behind the brilliant and supportive Substack Write More, Be Less Careful—a perennial recommendation here at the Long Pause—and just completed a whirlwind of promo events for her first (brilliant) book of non-fiction, The Good Mother Myth (A must-read for parents!)
Basically, Nancy knows how hard it can be to find your creative rhythm, and has 100 smart tricks up her sleeve for how to game the system and keep going, even when everything else gets in the way. And she’s bringing fun swag to give away to participants, including books!

Also! We’re *already* excited about our 🪑FREE Ass in Chair meetup on June 16🪑— it’s our first Solstice party, and we’re planning to celebrate with LOTS of giveaways, including funky 70s-inspired stickers and free subscriptions! Yep, we’re giving away a variety of free subscriptions that will get you more Ass in Chair time, from a month to a whole season.
It’s the perfect way to introduce a creative-but-stuck friend (we all have one!) to the magic of Ass in Chair, so don’t sleep on it!
As always, reply to this email to reach us with any questions! Can’t wait to kick off our week together with Nancy! 🙌🏽💥
