Queenieeeeee! It's SO loverly to see you here! Thank you for your deeply encouraging words and sweet sweet welcome. I must admit I've done a post-n-ghost on here but that's ok. Some other things in the works. Looking forward to reading your stack
I want to write somewhere for creativity’s sake, without the selfies, selling and narcissism disguised as personal branding. Instead somewhere to gather with like-hearted people where words spark smiles, meaningful conversations, and a little less aloneness in the world.
This post has come at an interesting time for me - I am on a spontaneous and irresponsible trip in the UK from the great Southern Land at the moment also at the turning point of many life changes that have occurred over the last 24 months many which are some what synonymous with your own experiences.
Equally I have felt the same regarding the personal branding thing and didn't last long on Twitter/X. I'm excited to read along on your creative journey here!
Yeahhhhhh. Heck of an intro post Novaaa.
Thank you my friend, means a lot from you!
Fuck. This was awesome.
Oh, thank you!
Wonderful post, Nova. Am new to your writing and look forward to more!. Love the title 'Joy Of Nothing' too!
Aw thank you Jason, so glad you’re here!
Nova! This has filtered its way back to the top of my Substack reading pile and I’m glad it did.
Welcome to the ‘Stack and boy, I’ve missed your face on Twitter. Super happy to see you spring up on here with such beautiful words.

Heyyy, so good to see a friendly face here. Spontaneous and irresponsible sounds pretty fun to me! I hope it’s everything you need it to be Jessica
Love all of this!!! 👏👏 Fuck yeah failure and all of the beautiful growth it brings!! Welcome to Substack 💛💛
Oh my gosh! I almost cried when reading the whole thing Nova!
I started and just...couldn't fucking stop! Welcome back girl!
And your post made me realise something huge...I don't want my inbox filling up with advice, strategies and spamming offers.
I want it to be filled with beautiful stories like yours...so I immediately unsubscribed and deleted about 15 newsletters. Thank you so so much!
Haha I'm looking forward to growing this reputation as an unintended 'newsletter reaper'!!
For real though, if I've moved you in any way... what a compliment, thank you.
P.s. Good to see yer again, feels like ageeees since we went through Erica's first course right?!
Crazy what we can run from hey?
Silly fears...
Yes! And not even ours. We are simply the observer of them.
Wild world Zhenya, wild world :D
