The app for independent voices

This is a benediction that has served me well over my years on Substack, and I pray it like a blessing every single time I hit Publish:

May this piece or post find the right readers at the right time.

Comparison will cost you all the joy from the experience of sharing your work with others. You can truly ask for no more, no less, than for your words to find the people who will appreciate them most of all.

Time to escape the completely normal writer thought prison of everyone’s story will be better than mine. Let’s break out!

Your story is unique and told in the way only you can tell it.

And it won’t be for everyone.

And it won’t be for most.

It will be for some beautiful weirdos like you.
