This is great and I nodded along with every single line. I read something today about information overload that I will be thinking about for quite some time: “The challenge isn’t to locate a few needles of relevance in a haystack of dross. The challenge is figuring out how to deal, day in and day out, with haystack-sized piles of needles.” As a reader, this is exactly how I feel. As a writer, I wonder how to become one of the needles readers pluck from the stack.
I am so happy this resonated with you. And this quote. Whew. Especially on Substack there is so much good writing and good information. I think the way to be relevant and one of the needles is to be yourself and show off your personality.
So far, this post where I share that I'm new at Substack and didn't reach any of my goals, is one of the posts that has gotten the most engagement. I honestly thought no one would want to read this b/c why would they want to know what I learned in 3 months versus what people who have been here for years have learned. Thank you for being here!!!
Thank you for sharing. As a 'new' writer, it's always good to hear about the experience of others and I'm continually taking in information and adjusting my own behaviors to become more authentic while trying to build a base.
