I just want to write a book I can sign with “happy reading” or “hope you enjoy this.” Not like the one I just wrote, where I am constantly wondering if I should sign, “half of this is a trigger warning,” or “sorry if it makes you cry,” or “I promise it gets better by the end.”🤷🏻♀️
Writing on Substack is a lesson in patience. Visibility is scarce, engagement is low, and if you persist, you’ll find the sweet spot of writing for the joy and madness of it. I promise you it’s a lesson worth learning.
