I think I have approached Substack in a similar way.

I am not driven by subscription numbers or money. All my newsletters are free. I love the idea of journaling but I probably have two dozen different notebooks I started and stopped. I guess I now hope my letters here will find their way to someone who may enjoy or be moved by them. It gives me an excuse to spend a little more time thinking about recent events in my life, long enough to come up with words I feel captures the moment.

My ego likes posting things on Facebook because I enjoy responses. There I have an audience 😆. Here I can feel like I'm talking to the wind.

I like hearing about what you're up to. I'm not very crafty so I get to be amazed at your creations. I also like knowing this can be a place to be creative without being driven by the numbers.

I'll check out your posts whenever they arrive because it will be when you feel like posting instead of feeling like you have to post.
