Last year, I did way too much.
I was trying to grow on multiple platforms simultaneously, testing them constantly, searching for a perfect fit. Some of these included:
Twitter
Instagram
TikTok
Pinterest
Bluesky
Tumblr
YouTube
Threads
It was exhausting and mostly pointless.
Somewhere along the way, I started using Medium, and then Substack. And things finally clicked.
I found a home for my writing (between the two).
This year, my goal was to simplify my process, distilling it down to only what worked and brought me joy.
That’s why, though I still have a presence on most of the aforementioned platforms, the only two I actively use are Medium and Substack.
They’re exactly what I was searching for, and I’ve never felt more content about my future as a writer.
Less really is more.
