I blame the resistance in our heads.
I've met so many people who won't write online because they don't think it will make money or make them look "cool."
Take it from me, when you decide to become a writer, you're already saying that it's not about money (or being cool). Neither will happen.
So why start a Substack newsletter?
1. It's fun.
2. You can't breathe without writing.
I knew I had found my thing when a friend asked when I expected to take writing full-time.
"Ya know. It doesn't matter. It's just fun getting better.”
