It’s been a bit of a challenge for me to throw something together in another stack…regurgitating the same horsetripe.
But I’m feeling like it’s time to get back.
Now…don’t get me wrong…I’m not going to start the paid subs up again…this isn’t about money, never has been - I’m still not taking new subs and current subs are still suspended (prolonging your yearly/monthly commitment)
I just feel like I’m slipping back into the groove…and I’m kind of excited about it.
Figured I owed you an update.
I’m ready to Rock and Roll.
Hope there’s still a few of you out there!
What is worse than not writing is writing for the wrong reasons. I have noticed lately that quite a few of my favourite substackers are running out of ideas, and either borrowing from others or stretching out tired subjects.
I've also noticed that some who wrote at first simply because they are writers and found it reward enough simply to have readers have gotten used to the attention and income and are using devices to try to force readers to pay.
Fact is if a lot of us compulsive readers paid for every article we simply scanned or actually read, we couldn't.
Your work is unique and very valuable and I can understand that sometimes you have something to say and sometimes you don't. When you don't there is no point pretending you do, Faking it won't make either you or your readers happy.
I for one am happy to wait for when you have inspiration. When you do, your research and writing is always insightful and I am sure it has a far-reaching impact.
Welcome back, Sheldon! 💖
