From The Hive — A New Kind of Collective Newsletter

a Collaborative corner of my Substack where we explore themes and questions together

Hi Honey,

I’m creating something new—and I’d love for you to be part of it.

Introducing: The Hive

A collaborative corner of my Substack where we explore shared themes, deep questions, and poetic curiosities—together. Each issue will center on a single topic or prompt, featuring reflections from you, other readers, and fellow writers, woven together with my own thoughts and commentary.

This isn’t about being polished or profound—it’s about being present. Real. Human.

How it works:

• I’ll send out a question, word, or theme each month.

• You can respond directly to the email (replying is consenting to the posting of your response)

• I’ll gather responses and create a collective issue—layered voices, thoughts, fragments, and feelings.

• You’ll be credited be default—or remain anonymous if that feels safer.

• Each Hive will feel like a conversation stitched with intention.


First prompt:

“What’s something you had to leave behind in order to grow?”

Reply to this email with a few sentences, a paragraph, or even just a line. Raw, poetic, messy, or thoughtful—whatever feels true.

Submissions are open until August 25th.

The first issue From The Hive lands in your inbox September 2nd.

From The Hive is made to feel like a safe, welcoming, hangout. Give and take what you need from this space.

I hope to meet you there!

With warmth,

Abigail Elana, Honey Wound.
