This is an encouraging article, particularly to those starting out on Substack. I use to think the only way my writing matter is if I got an agent and then published. I spent years chasing that dream ending up disappointed. (That is another story) But someone turned me onto Substack and it was a learning curve, especially finding my feet, but I did find them. I found not only community, but also my rhythm, more importantly I found that success wasn't getting published, it was people reading my stories. Maybe only one person reads, maybe a thousand, the numbers don't matter, because there is someone reading my work. That really makes me happy as a writer.
What I liked most here is the reminder that writers may work alone, but they don’t have to grow alone. The first like, the first familiar name, the first person who returns to read again—those small signs are often how a real community begins.
Thank you!
Of course my friend
