I rarely look at the statistics provided to us Substack writers, but I did today. One is the “open rate.” It is kind of disheartening but I do get it. Email fatigue? Substack fatigue? One thing that soothes the sting is that I write here because I honestly enjoy it. I am not expecting to make a living out of it though who wouldn’t want to? It’s just not where I am right now. I want to write and want to share my writing.
I know that my focus is wide at times but I hope that it is at least interesting. I am going back to writing about writing though because that is what is most important to me. I don’t mind being put aside to read later, I just hope you are not deleting me outright. Ha!
I’m not going to look at that statistic anymore. I think it would do more harm than good and I want this to be my happy place.
