Thank you for standing up for the words on the page. Well done.

Awesome! I think it shows that if you're honest and speak your mind, your readers will find you. I started a Substack in Nov 2022, hoping to get 100 free subscribers as I wrote tips and techniques for fiction writers, combining my fiction writing and my editing experience to compile little bits of advice based on issues I'd seen (or done) many times over. It took two years to hit 100, then another year to hit 200, then 500, and now 1,000. Way more than I ever expected. Way short of your 6K! But far beyond my expectations. Substack can be pretty amazing that way, and you've obviously hit some good nerves. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Congrats on reaching 6 thousand subscribers!

A lot of success is just doing good work again and again until luck strikes and it's noticed. One moment you think nothing will happen and then voila, suddenly your whole life just changed.

By the way, your essays are fantastic.
