End of year updates
Thank you to everyone who's supported Rotting Trees, my short stories and my stationery shop re-open this year. In 2025 I'll be posting to social media far less and instead focussing on my blog, newsletter and Patreon because they are algorithm-free and a better use of my extremely limited energy (links below). I enjoy connecting with you all on socials, but it can take the same length of time to plan, write, hashtag-ify and add alt text to a social media post for each platform as it does to write a chapter of a book (and it's a gamble whether that post will be seen). So in 2025 I'll be posting to socials less - I'm not Disappearing, just posting less - and focussing on longer, slower and generally more mindful content instead. It will be delivered to your inbox, with clickable links and less chance of you missing updates. Links and info about each space:
💌Newsletter: monthly, containing a round up of news including blog posts, shop updates, book stockists and short stories, plus anything else fun I've been working on and shout outs for other small businesses or art I'm enjoying. Everyone who signs up gets the chance to trial Patreon for free for a month (look out for the link in each newsletter!). https://mailchi.mp/3aecf3edd2a9/mails...
🖋Blog: three posts a month if I'm being optimistic, usually book-ish or mulling over topics I'm interested in. You can subscribe for email notifications but I will share links in my newsletters. The comments section on posts is probably a good spot to find other readers of my books. https://francescasthoughts.com
📖Patreon: a variety of posts each month including tarot & chat, early access to short stories plus exclusive short stories and, in novel-sharing times, a chapter per week of a book that's not published yet. Patreon is where I share news first, and because it's more private, it's where I share more personal updates. You can sign up to be a free member for occasional free posts, but if you become a paid member you'll get a character named after you in a piece of work, your name in the thank yous of books and handwritten postcards or letters from me every few months. You can trial paid membership for a week, and each tier enjoys the same perks, so you can join for as little as £1 plus VAT a month and get A LOT in return. It's a lovely space. https://www.patreon.com/FrancescasWords
Happy new year! ✨
