Thanks, Yasmin, for sharing your thoughts and plans! I will move shortly to another city, far away and close to the sea, so my spare time will be limited. But more and more, I am trying really hard to set aside a weekly moment for writing and your posts are great inspiration. I would love to read more from you about art and writing (I don't know how I can vote). I wish you all a wonderful time during the holidays!
Your words are warm and encouraging, Claudia. Thank you. And I wish you a trouble-free move. I look forward to hearing more about your new home by the sea - I hope you’ll write about it.
What a wonderful year it's been for you, Yasmin. I'm glad I have discovered your Substack (and Substack in general) and look forward to following along in 2026. I didn't realise you moved to Scotland this year, I was just there with my partner and had the most incredible time, I can hardly believe it's all part of the same British Isles and yet so varied.
Lovely Yasmine I need to take a page from your substack and make a more thoughtful plan about growth and then stick to it for next year. This has inspired me to think on this for my own work. Also, it’s been a true joy getting to know you and working with you. Can’t wait for more opportunities to do the same. I truly think we should all consider a writing retreat together at some point in the future. Then we could finally all meet in person.
I love image, Yasmin. It's beautiful, interesting and you're right--leaves way for interpretation. All the best as you continue to settle in to your new digs and have the best of holidays!!!
I love this idea of the intersection between art and writing. As an artist who is learning to write I see endless analogies between the two. Thanks for helping me think of things to substack about.
Your post has inspired me to be more intentional with my Substack next year, so thank you!
Looking forward to seeing what our collaboration puts into the world in 2026 💚
Yay! Thanks Donna, for being a big part of my Substack journey during 2025, and beyond.

Thank you Melissa. It has been a terrifically good year. And it's good to have met you here also.
Scotland has a lot to offer. We're in the Borders, on the east coast near the sea. It's lovely.

Getting together in person would be super, Amanda, but we are so far-flung I wonder if it would be possible. Certainly worth trying!
I'm pleased this post resonated with you. Do let us know what your plans are for 2026 when you're ready.

Thank you Jeanine. Glad you like the image!

There is so much to explore as an artist.
Art really does feed my creative writing.
Thank you for your comment Robin.
Nice one, Yasmin. Must say I'm excited for you and excited to be working with you come next year.
FYI, I could only participate in the poll on my Substack app and not via my desktop, no matter though, my phone was seconds away.
Thanks Bee. I'm thrilled to be working with you through next year as well.
🎉
I'm not sure why the poll was only available on your mobile. I'll investigate!
