An update from me...

and what I've been writing lately

Hi - Zac here.

You’re getting this because at some point you signed up to hear from me – likely about the Things I Wish I Knew.

I wanted to let you know what I’ve been doing… just being a dad. Outside changing nappies, rocking my boy to sleep and trying to get a few hours kip myself, not much.

Still, throughout these early days of my parenting journey, with my eyes falling out of my head, I’ve been writing about the highs and lows.

So you’re now subscribed to my Substack, Being Dad: The First 50 Days, where I share short, honest pieces about becoming a parent. Not advice. Not a “how-to.” Just the small, funny, exhausting, quietly life-changing moments that arrive before and after a baby does.

It begins before fatherhood starts - with doubt, timing, false starts, and the realisation that none of this is guaranteed.

Read the first post here:

Being Dad: Day -279 — Santa didn’t get our letters

If it’s not for you, no problem at all - there’ll be an unsubscribe link at the bottom of future Substack emails. I won’t take it personally (but my son might.)

Otherwise, you’ll see more in your inbox every Monday.

Either way, happy holidays and thanks for reading,

Zac / NpG
