Who am I, you might ask? Why am I being asked things? Great questions. I am a personality on Substack.com, am dating a retired influencer, and have a PhD: these things make people curious about my professional and personal lives.

If you have anything else to say to me or you want me to work for you, my email is askclaresub@gmail.com.


Do you have an agent

No. Don’t I need a manuscript to have that? This is mostly a solo operation. I don’t even have a mentor. I take advice from ingenues at press events.

Which upcoming Austin Butler project excites you the most?

Of the list below, very easily the Untitled Lance Armstrong Movie dir. Edward Berger. This is very close to my idea that Austin Butler should win an Oscar for playing Pat Tillman in a movie called Pat.

do you know if Austin Butler has started training for the lance armstrong movie

I know that he is training for something involving guns, and that he has been hanging out with Lance Armstrong’s family.

My boyfriend is overly attached to the heavily substantiated rumor that Austin Butler is going to be in Heat 2. I am not usually convinced that Heat 2 is a movie that will ever exist, but this gun situation is a bit curious. Nothing he’s slated for that involves guns would be in pre-production yet. It’s interesting, is all I’m saying.

How do you find motivation to keep writing when ur mood and vibe is way down? When ur like “I feel like shit and I can’t talk to anyone”. Is the writing what gets you through or is it part of the process or is it completely separate from this
