I feel like somebody on the park bench on a Sunday morning eating a jelly donut and like dribbling it on herself while other people like jauntily scurry by.
I’m on that (Substack bestseller) list, and I’m just watching every day as I fall down the list, dribbling jelly globs upon myself while other people are offering promos and sales andI’m like “go run along. I’m just going to go buy another donut."

on watching her bestseller ranking fallWe are all just idiots watching the world scurry by, jelly donuts dribbling down our chins.
You can watch our whole conversation above - as always, it was a treat, honor, and responsibility to chat w Isabel. Here’s to many more (we are working out contract negotiations right now for having Isabel be a Regular Guest on BATLIVE).
But wait, first, what the heck is this:
ready to go from “i wanna write today” to “i wrote today”?
I have been asking friend of the BAT
for help on how to explain the BATCAVE to people. His advice?“Sell the transformation.”
At first that sounded cheesy or sales-y, but then…it continued to sound that way.
Also, there’s very little I can promise you.
BUT I CAN PROMISE THIS:
If you come to Saturday(tomorrow)’s BATCAVE WRITE #002, you will experience this TRANSFORMATION:
Join BATCAVE for $8/month or $70 a year

wait this shit is weekly?????
And that’s not just a one time thing - we do weekly cowriting sessions and twice-monthly BATCAVE LIVE hangs. Here’s how
recently described it:Alex now does group Zoom calls with his paid subscribers, which he totally stole from me. Just kidding, but no really… group Zoom calls with your paid subscribers is so good. Not everything needs to be a paywalled posts, or extra “content.” Hang out for an hour with the people who love you work once a week and see what happens.
Back to Alex: he starts off these group calls like a damn performer. Oh, that’s right, that’s because he is. It’s hilarious, and funny, and wonderfully over the top. There are SLIDES.
Lots of jokes and silliness throughout, because that’s the world that Alex creates. But then… shit gets real. People get deep.
Not in a, “okay, let’s be adults now and talk about REAL stuff.”
No, it just sort of eases into the room, because space was made for it to come into. The room was filling with fears and doubts and fart jokes, so then there’s room for all sorts of emotions and feelings.
So that’s just a thought on creating a Zoom room hangout with your members, through the lens of how Alex is doing it, and I think it’s great. Find out more about the BAT CAVE here.
