And how to understand and embrace it on Substack. Take all rejection with a grain of salt. If you’re rejected by a magazine or literary journal, it’s likely...
I’m a liker too! I loved reading this and I definitely agree I have work to do but I’m also embracing a phase of my life where often just showing up IS the work and I will definitely admit to typos and errors in grammar. I’m working on it and I’m letting it go. ✨✍️🌻🙏
This is why I'm so excited to meet! You help writers on Substack in a different way than I do. I'm disciplinarian, hardcore professionalism, and you're creativity, self-acceptance, and sparkling. We're the perfect complement to each other! Together we can serve everyone. I'll send all sparklers your way. You send the type-A strivers my way.
Thanks, Sarah. I’m a liker- after reading. I read on the app and delete the email w/o opening it (do they track app reading in analytics?). I like about four or five different apples, which, hmmmm, could explain other things. 😂 I do prefer to buy apples at the farmers market - which is the Substack of food shopping. Thanks for your encouragement.
I'm a liker, but only if I read what I'm liking first. Many just like and never read the post. I don't understand that. I started writing on Substack in January when I retired. I try to be as active as possible on Notes, sharing, restacking, and cross-posting. Things are steadily progressing. I'm right at 99 subscribers as of yesterday and hope to hit the 100 marker this week. Learning so much from everyone and really like all the features and new things constantly being rolled out on Substack. And, you're so right about the apples analogy. That will help with the mindset moving forward. Thank you.
It’s been three months since I started on Substack. I’m slowly learning about the things you’ve talked about but there’s immense value in learning from writers who have been at it for far longer. Thanks!
I'm still fairly new to this 'I'm a writer' thing and to Substack, so I'm still trying to figure things out. I'm trying to not letting the 'why don't I have more subscribers' thing bother me, but it can be a thorn in my side. I just focus on my writing and when I feel like I have something worth sharing, I'll post it.
I do enjoy the interaction I've had on Substack since joining. I'm liking Notes because it's introduced me to some great writers and people.

Of course! You’re so right. Substack is absolutely a farmers market!

Yes on all of this!

Of course! The main thing: Substack is a long game. The only way to fail is to stop--so don't stop!

And turning me into one.
