Claire… I’m new to Substack and am just getting used to the surface of how it works. So lovely to hear your north east accent, I write from Manchester. Thank you for your generosity and your sharing… I’m excited about your vision of Substack as a place of a big broom and creativity ❤️

I was recommended Substack by one of my Berklee College of Music instructors. I’m brand new to this platform as of this week! I am a musician, artist, French teacher, and I lived in Basque Country for 6 years where I wrote and recorded a lot of music and made a lot of art. I moved back to New England last year and I’m still heavy into art (I continue to incorporate a lot of the Basque language into my paintings and decorated pieces) and I still write, record and perform a lot of music. I teach French to adults as and would love to share some of my methods with other foreign language fans! Substack is a great place to share and reflect on a lot of my work and experiences. I’m still a bit timid at this point about managing and upgrading subscriptions and peering behind the paywall, but maybe I’ll get there soon! Thank you :)

I'm already loving Sparkle. I came here to Substack because I wanted to start writing as myself. Previously I'd blogged as a nurse, writing about nursing and nursing politics, and I knew there was more I wanted to write about, to say, to be....

I’m so excited for this new venture of yours, Claire. I too started my Substack as a place to write where no one knew me, and it has been so freeing to show up here as my true authentic self without judgement. I just love it! I’m so looking forward to your guest, I wonder who it is 😁

I’d love to support you more and become a paid subscriber, the time isn’t right at the moment, but definitely in the future 🤩
