I wonder that as well, Lisa. I haven't started mine yet and I wonder if it's worth it. I don't currently even have publishing credentials.

Wendy, try it for three months and post once a week. See what happens. I haven't been writing on Substack for very long and neglected it for two months, but I think it's worth it. Where’s the harm in writing more often?

That's solid advice, Corey. Thank you.

Whether you gain an audience or not, you’ll most likely become a better writer by having another outlet requiring you to conjure thoughts and words. That was my initial outlook (still is) when joining Substack. I needed something to push me to write more, a theory that hasn't yet came to fruition.

Wendy, it might save you a lot of headache and heartache to start with a writing group of trusted fellows before leaping into publishing your work prematurely. You want people who are encouraging but push you to be better.

I have thought about seeking out a writers' group again. I was in one years ago, but everyone eventually dropped out.

I dont care who wrote an interesting piece.

But if I come across something by a writer i like, yes, I definitely will read that one.
