Well, I tried to play the game and make a Reel to show one wonderful day in visitbregenz. And it bombed. So I’m learning the lesson that when you said you weren’t interested in Reels, you really did mean it — no matter what all the social media experts say I should be doing… and I’m pivoting to spend more time creating stories on my own, owned-channels instead of relying on an algorithm that only serves to make this formerly-suicidal creator feel suicidal all over again. [Not a thing I say lightly. Not even close!! If you too are struggling, please seek help & know you’re not alone. Sending love to all my fellow creators also having a hard time with what we do. In the USA, if you need help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 or let me know and I will be there for you.]

Please, if you enjoy my work, go to the fancy new link in my profile that I also spent today making - and see what it’s like to spend two [safe] wonderful days in Bregenz in visitaustria. It’s...
