Food for thought here Ana. I think of Substack as a place where you can develop your original voice. And you do that by creating only when you get the urge to create. But, it's still social media with all its assorted anxieties-a break or rethink can be a good thing. As they say in zen you can "put it all down" for a while!
Hi Nicholas, thank you for reading🙏🏽 yes, “putting it all down” is helping a lot. Good point about finding your voice, but isn’t it always a little tricky to look at metrics while trying to evolve? These things take so much time and trial and error, it is a vulnerable place after all. Happy holidays! X
Yes it is tricky. I feel that, and I’m sure most people do. The metrics train you to write to please. But, in my book, nobody any good wrote or created to please. Good job Orwell wasn’t getting feedback every day when he was writing 1984 eh!
This has been one of my favourite reads of the week! 'Maybe ideas live in the places you live in' - what a thing to think about.
