Thanks for noticing. That chat GPT is taking over. I call this upcoming period the F.O.C aka flood of content. @5-@^ is going to be a whirlwind. Thanks form the interaction.
Thank you. I woke up with this notion. And the way my brain works makes it challenging for me to look at a screen too long but if I pace myself- ground and truly open to receiving wisdom and support and inspiration from other writers - rather than it being a tactic to enhance me- come with a “we” mindset over the old “me” mindset then it shifts. How can we all play and support one another. All voices needed. And there is much to be shared.
I'm finding it is just like you say even though don't have as much time put in as you. So it's great to get a kind of confirmation of how it works. Different random things like worrying about having enough readers and then reading a recommendation for a book on how to write even when you aren't read by many. This was late at night and checked sales report on my print on demand book and one copy had shipped out from Delaware the previous day. Some people might say just one copy but it's important to have a sense of the yin and the yang or woof and warp of the fabric, the weave or pattern of cause and effect. It's feels Asian, a sort of spiritual alignment that connects the simplicities that are the tech drivers of what happens in life. As you say, always good to view through sensing the unseen until it is felt and understood and then decide how to go from there. Thanks for the great advice.
Think you explained it well. You held off from negativity but highlighted the shear unpredictability of what could happen leaning towards a possible unexpected good result. I was thinking of how I had few readers of my book. So I let it go and said doesn't matter just keep on keeping on. Went to sales reports and a print on demand copy of my book had shipped out of a Delaware printer. So as you wrote the unthinkable can still happen usually when you aren't thinking too much about it. So now I have a strategy. Thanks for how your specific delineation of what happened for you helped me arrive at a calm good place about it all.
I tried not to make it rocket science! For me I embrace the power of random. Random now is so fearful in our society. Just keep on doing what you do and it will happen. Glad you you now have a strategy. That means something good came of the day. Until next time.....
'that is when it started to click! The click was not my output but the others output. Become a consumer not a producer!' - yeh, I think you're right. I tend to see substack as if it were a kind of extended sub-reddit - or at least that's how I use it, (it could of course have a much deeper potential than that) - it has the advantage over a sub-reddit that the whole page belongs to you, so you can write whatever you like on it, and you can rant on as much as you like, without having to be mindful of the interests and preferences and sensitivities of the community, and whether or not you are being annoying and importuning people, because if they don't like you, then there's no reason for them to ever visit your page. is there. Social media in general tends to highlight to an extreme how people like to bang on about their own particular hobby horse, but seldom really engage with what others are saying, or respond to it....sometimes reading through the threads in a typical forum you get the impression it's mostly a bunch of people talking to themselves, with real connection occasional and fleeting at most. perhaps this is the same as IRL, in fact, but it gets amplified on social media. maybe IRL forces you to engage with the person sitting opposite you more.
Yes social has to become an echo chamber. Thanks for giving the column sometime. At this point social gives the person a delusion of grandeur of I have a voice. It is quite sad.
I've been a lot more active on Medium, not so much here on Substack. But after reading this, it might be time for me to rethink where I want to put energies.

Thank you for this post! Much appreciated!
Thanks for giving it read.
Great advice 👍
Always great to see you here. Thanks for giving it a read.
🌹🌻🌸💐💚💛💜❤️🌼😍🥰
Thank you for the support always. I didn't know what to expect on this one.
Nicely said. I had fun with Chat GPT, but I have not used it for my writing. If I did, it would not be my authentic voice. So, yes, H.I. I like that

meant to say 25-26
Yep, interaction is the key. A big plus is that it is enjoyable and enlightening.
Thanks for the uplifting comment and giving it a chance
Nice, right on!

Thank you for taking the time to dive into the column. I didn't know what to expect. Hope it helps folks. Until next time....
Hey there, it seems that you've figured it out. I hope you're doing well already.
I am just doing it. Hein V you seem to have a system yourself. Great to interact with you here.

Thank you for taking the time to digest. Hope it has brought you some peace of mind while you pursue this.

Totally agree. You made random a practical perspective. Which is a great way to look at it. Thanks and until next time.

Excellent advice!!
Glad it resonated with you.

Thanks!
Oh wow. Thanks for the kind response! Hope to see you more on "The Stack'.
