Hopefully Yours by Connie Schultz
An ongoing conversation about the daily mess of life: Family, politics, books, teaching, writing, journalism - and dogs, always dogs. In my world, hope is a fact.

Share your own Summer Recap
You can see your own summer recap in the Substack app. I’d love to see what you’ve been reading.
Wow, Liz, I really like this post. When I received my Substack Summer recap, my first thought was, oh no, yet another way for many writers to judge themselves. Did I read as many words or posts as someone else? Or does the breakdown truly honor my favorite writers? But seeing your post helped me reconsider my initial fears. I realize it's not a competition but more an honoring of those writers you did open more frequently than others. And I also realize there are reasons we can all consider. For instance, two of my top Substacks are because I participated in classes. My top open was Karen Davis who offers her lovely photography religiously each and every week, which I'm drawn to, as well as her words. There are many other writers I never pass up an opportunity to read, but they may post less often. Ultimately, I'm learning from these new recap lessons that will help me with my publication. So thank you, Liz. I'll be uploading my summer recap later this week.
