Yes, please keep us posted! I'll be curious! With that response to the question, I'd want your contribution to this position!
I am beyond weary of the selling, selling, selling and the social media piece. I just rec'd a note from someone at Substack to say that my income is declining (it has been plateauing almost two years now for my newsletter) and that I should engage with "chat."
That's not why I'm here. I still need to write in order to write about writing! And I'm tired of the sell. I just want to build a wee community of writers who actually write, and enjoy the worthy and sustaining struggle of creating.
I LOVE that your own articulation is inspiring you!! Here's to that! I'm going to re-read your answer a few times in the next weeks. Thank you, Ed!
Not only have you built an inspiring wee community, Alison, you've made a significant contribution to my wee community of writers and readers: Referrals from your Substack are still the majority of my new subscribers. Thanks for your kind support and the generosity that your Substack represents.
I'm off to renew my paid subscription to your 'Stack now, and I exhort my followers to do the same.

This made my day! In many ways. So glad to hear about the referrals. And thank you for your support--that means so much!
Onward into 2025, Ed, with word and joy!
