LIFE ON THE PRAIRIE

Paula Coomer is now on Substack! Subscribe/Follow/Support Life on the Prairie!

Paula Coomer one day got on a bus and rode out west from Indiana with nothing but a sewing machine and a footlocker containing a few pair of bluejeans, Carole King’s Tapestry album, and a paperback copy of Atlas Shrugged, which she never read.

Since then she has learned that everything is a first world problem.

Perhaps you enjoy reading about incidental matters that may or may not extrapolate to the bigger picture. Or about things that might be sweet or poignant or funny or not. Or that are apropros of nothing. And because you’re a nice person and I’m a nice person.

But I don’t blame you if you don’t want more crap showing up in your inbox. So, you could just put a note on your refrigerator to remind yourself to check to see if I have a new Substack posted, which happens about every two weeks. Or put a rubberband on your wrist. Or subscribe and delete without reading, just so I have more than one subscriber. And I didn’t write this part, but for a spam-free, ad-free reading experience, plus audio and community features, get the Substack app.

I don’t have a crew. Unless you count my hub. You could sign up just to help me start building a crew. Although I don’t know what that will have to do with anything. Or maybe, you just really like to read what other people are writing. Those of us who toil and toil and whose careers never amount to much. That’s it. You could sign up just to make me feel like I’m not doing this for nothing. Which I probably am. But who cares? It’s just one more FIRST WORLD PROBLEM.
