The End of Paid Subscriptions

I want to start by thanking all my subscribers for being here and my paid subscribers for your financial support. I have paused paid subscriptions. Ultimately I will cancel them, but apparently in order to cancel them outright, I have to have enough money in my Stripe account (the payment portal used by Substack) to refund any unused portion to subscribers. Currently I do not and have to figure out how that will work. In the meantime, I don't want anyone to be charged.

My physical health is not improving and my ability to juggle daily demands is quite limited. I've come to the conclusion over the weeks that I have been away from work demands that I need to continue to rest and take on only what I feel comfortable with on any given day. That may mean a few posts a week, one, or none. I can't in good conscience expect anyone to pay for this.

I won't shut down Eclectic Ink and hope you'll continue to welcome my stories and poetry when they find their way into your mailbox.

Thanks for being part of my writing journey. I appreciate every one of you more than you know.
