Nice, I’m in a steady increase in readers but I wish I had more coming. Also getting paid subscribers is so hard, but I guess that’s just because I value most of my information being free.

Obsessed with writerish and writing micro prose inspired by Darien gee allowed me to finish my illustrated memoir! And inspired by Kelsey Ervick. They are doing great work here!

Just subscribed to Writer-ish! Darien's Substack sounds like it's made for me.

Thanks for sharing these, Sarah!

Hey hi hello, Jan! Happy to have you in the Writer-ish community!

Three different flavors of inspiration. The banana split of hope. Thank you!

I like Sara's tip: "Let Substack work for you."

I think this is more specific than "Be yourself." I think too many people cling to the old saw, "To be a winner, copy the winners." This doesn't include the disclaimer, "Be sure not to lose your own identity in the process."
