Get Distracted! with me

Hello! Welcome to my weird little corner of Substack. I'm Georgie—an award-winning fiction author. I also write non-fiction articles and book reviews, and I’ve taught creative writing for more than 25 years. In other words, I’m old.

My substack is a smorgasbord of mildly humiliating stories from my life as a writer, menopausal online dater, housesitter, dog whisperer, and sufferer of mild, gen-X incurred brain damage.

It’s all in service of my goals: to make you laugh, bring you joy, and weird you out.

Subscribers get:

  • The chance to say you were here at the start

  • You’ll also get all the free posts, of course

  • Paid subscribers get some extra spicy posts

  • Also a lot of unwarranted flattery about their looks and personality

  • There will be video and audio content (coming soon!)

  • You can join in my chat and community - I respond to every message

  • And of course, I will love you forever. That’s the most important thing, right?
