I needed a fresh start. I imported all the newsletter subscribers (thank you all!), and decided I would devote my Substack to long-form pieces I either couldn&#8217;t place anywhere or just needed to get off my chest. I also decided to have a paid option and a free option. I&#8217;m also including a link to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venmo.com\/u\/Sheila-OMalley-3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">my Venmo<\/a>, just in case anyone wanted to throw some coins my way. I&#8217;ve been blogging here for free for 20 years and am happy people like what I do. But if you feel inspired to pay me, then go right ahead. It&#8217;s all appreciated. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to put out a piece a month on Substack maybe more. I&#8217;d like them to be the kind of deep dives I used to do here, and that I used to do for my column at Film Comment. <\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0930cd3039f96ffe143af9fa13286a57.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"720\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-184665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0930cd3039f96ffe143af9fa13286a57.jpg 442w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0930cd3039f96ffe143af9fa13286a57-123x200.jpg 123w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0930cd3039f96ffe143af9fa13286a57-246x400.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0930cd3039f96ffe143af9fa13286a57-61x100.jpg 61w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nI decided to launch it with <a href=\"https:\/\/sheilaomalley.substack.com\/p\/someone-turned-the-lights-out-there\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an essay about Lisa Marie Presley<\/a>.
