I read on another substack that open rates during the summer are lower than the rest of the year due to people taking vacations, etc... My open rates dropped 10 percent in June, so perhaps it's true. Or my readers stopped liking me, who knows? :)

I’ve noticed that interactions with my account across the board fell off once Summer began. So there is probably some truth to the whole “summer slow-down” thing.

Okay, I'm not a big fan of stage productions. But your description of the 9/11 aftermath sounds fascinating. And it's more interesting because of your posts and the innovative 'other characters lives' thing. I, too, am interested in the backstories of other people. In fact, sometimes I think the main characters are narcissists (though, maybe the good parts) because it's all about them. Does that mean I was always a spectator growing up? I think so. But, as writers, we have to be observers of others, right? It's your fault I made a side trip to the lyrics of the Rolling Stones.

Canadians always know how to step up to help during crises- Newfies in particular.

It’s comforting to know people still go to the theatre to see the same play more than once— I thought that was a lost habit! This is something I’ve always wanted to see, thanks for writing about it!
