I’m a moment gratification seeking, I googled, “how to get noticed on Substack.” Embarrassing, I know, but I did.
What I found was an article that said the notes that got the most “likes” were short, critical and shared statistics or definite answers.
I had to sit with this a minute. This is not why I came to Substack. I am not trying to build a business or launch a career. I came to write. Long, nuanced, messages of hope. To see others and be seen.
So I’ve also accept that going viral overnight, or ever, is not in the cards for me. And I’m going to keep writing anyway.
Love this, Emily! And yes, that’s absolutely the plan. Writing here has allowed me to reconnect with myself in such profound ways and I fully intend to keep showing up. Glad to have people like you reading ❤️
What I find beautiful is that how sub stack allows people to become unguarded and express themselves truly in a way they have felt comfortable before. I could feel the ease at which you wrote , and your words just flowed , I really liked the structure and composition style . And yo unable a way with words , beautifully articulated . Loved it !
Really appreciate you reading, Pelle! Truly have so much admiration for what you’ve created here and the artistry that’s so deeply woven into your work.
