Hiya,
Sometimes, hyping yourself is admitting you can’t do it all.
Some of you know I’ve been dealing with another technical issue this week.
The short version: It was related to paid subscribers receiving cancellation emails and being unable to access content only they hadn’t cancelled.
It has been fixed now. Customer support admitted it was an error on Substack's side and apologised.
I have much more to say about it, but rule number 1 of Crisis PR 101 training is it’s always best not to talk when you feel too emotional.
(Oh hey, Elon & Donny - I’m guessing you skipped that bit of media training?)
Safe to say, though, it’s been a stressful week.
I hope you forgive me for telling you this took me off my creation game.
I did have a different email penned for today about podcasts, but I couldn’t finish it to the standard I wanted with everything else that happened this week.
It’s a bank holiday weekend in France, and I’m camping in my back garden with my children, getting some much-needed R&R.
I promise the directory of opportunities will be with you this week, and I’ll be back on form for you next Sunday.
Thank you so much for sticking with me through all of this. From the bottom of my heart, I couldn’t do it without you lot!
Lucy x
