I’ve switched to writing almost all my content on my Substack “Be a Cactus: thoughts on resistant writers and how we bloom.” It’s a weekly post delivered on Sunday morning. It’s very similar to what you have received from me in the past:
- A book-centered community that acknowledges the real challenges of publishing and celebrates the journey.
- Respite for those who haven’t always found conventional inspiration and advice helpful.
- A discussion of books and writing that includes work outside the bestseller/literary giants milieu.
In a week or so, I will be emailing my posts with the heading “Victoria Waddle Be a Cactus” (or something close to that). In the meantime, I thought you’d enjoy this article I wrote there.
Preemptively Banning Books is No Way to Curate a Collection

Thanks for the heads up on the blog site change.
At least libraries can offer a safe place to sit & read books.
I hate that others have been so empowered to go from town to town with their book ban brigade. Just another MAGA tactic.
