Went in and changed the about page for the Substack. I know I feel a bit dissatisfied when I go to look at someone else’s Substack about page and they haven’t changed it from the default setting at all, so I wanted to make sure there was actual content in mine. Which there was, but I thought it needed a bit of fleshing out.
It looks like one of the paid subscribers bailed. Reason given: “Time.” I have no idea what that means, but I wish them the best. That said, they were a monthly subscriber, and those are the ones I really want to build up. The occasional annual subscription is a wonderful supplement to my miniscule income, but it’s the regulars who will put me on a more even path to stability in the long run. But this is not a thing I can make happen overnight. I will just have to be patient.
For the record, because some of you have told me I’m a good writer, it doesn’t matter. I always doubt myself. I think that’s probably actually really common amongst creatives — and I don’t even like calling myself that. I don’t get into this sort of thing to call myself a creative, I do this sort of thing because it feels like a thing I have to do.
I am trying to get better at it, though. Because that also feels necessary.
Okay. Fonts to sort through, shit to start. Whee. ‘Later.
