Thank you for sharing and how lucky for you to have had this tool your whole life.💙🧘🏽♀️🙏🏽
Yes. I only want to read what other humans have written. I recently began writing daily and feel compelled to write so only humans can see all the subtly in the work.
I wrote a poem yesterday that only humans can read.
I didn’t see the original note, but somehow stumbled into this post and am glad I did. Excellent thoughts here. I too feel as if discipline is not about a publishing schedule, though there is something to writing on a deadline. I’ve been thinking a lot about how writing craft is improved and for me it mostly involves more reading and not necessarily more writing or more posts going out.
I’m one of the many lovers of your note—I couldn’t agree more. My own self-imposed pressure for discipline recently pushed me to the point of getting incredibly sick. Now, I’m back and feeling better! I’ve shifted to a no-schedule routine for my Substack, and it feels liberating, humane, and healthy. No one demanded the schedule—I demanded it of myself. Thank you again!
I read a note today that said if you don’t write every day, readers will forget you. I believe it was meant as encouragement. That Substack content makes me furious, actually. Maybe I’ll write about that! And thank you.
