About Parent of Adults, my Substack newsletter

About Parent of Adults, my Substack newsletter

I’ve assumed several online identities over the years: creator of the now-archived Parent Hacks blog; co-host of the Edit Your Life podcast; book author (PARENT HACKS, MINIMALIST PARENTING and more).

Now, I’m working on my most personal writing project yet. Parent of Adults is my Substack newsletter and real-time chronicle about how life changes after the kids grow up. Learn more here, or subscribe (free or paid) at ashadornfest.substack.com.

Parent of Adults Launch Report

Parent of Adults Launch Report

I love to hear why and how writers and other creative people/artists do their work. They’re just regular people, after all. And creative work never happens in a vacuum; the stuff going on in the background is as much a part of the work as the actual words or paint splotches or whatever.

This is the animating spirit behind offering a periodic glimpse behind the curtain of my writing practice. Every so often I’ll devote an issue of Parent of Adults to tools, habits, musings, and other writing meta-topics, plus whatever writerly news I have to share.

In this first dispatch, I thought I’d share what the Parent of Adults launch has been like.
