I've been on Substack for about 2 years now and I still learned something from this article (re: creating sections instead of multiple newsletters). Thank you for writing.
These are rough days. Your emails/newsletters and notes of encouragement (not just on writing, but the general state of life in the US right now) are consoling and comforting. 1 day down, 1459 to go.
I've been keeping track of the days too. Days go by fast. Time is undefeated. Thank you for your kind words Karen, you don't know what a relief it has been for me to write. I have never written so much in my life. I've never spent so much time recording thoughts. I feel an urgency to get as many ideas out as possible. We need to make a better world and it starts with words. Again, thank you!
Thanks again for the video call and this article, Walter! At first, I was concerned about how to choose a pub name that encompassed all my topics. But I realized it doesn't have to. (E.g. Your pub name is "I'd Rather Be Writing," so you didn't have to explicitly mention the politics topic in the name.)
What I plan to do, is to combine everything under "The Transgender Therapist," even the fiction writing craft stuff. Then split them into sections. I learned that we can email our subscribers without publishing the email as a post, too. And that we can even choose which specific subscribers (including specific newsletter sections) to email. Didn't know that! I should offer those discounts too to encourage subscribers who have less money but still want to help.
You can include the name for the fiction writing publication as a section. That should make it easier for your subscribers to understand. Yes! All of those ideas are good. Maybe I should do another zoom meeting and walk people through the controls. Actually, y'all would probably teach me quite a bit :)
I appreciate all your tips. I recently put up a paywall for my podcast episodes but I've been thinking about changing that and just opening it up for everyone again. I might just do that ☺️

As always, you offer sage advice that makes sense to ordinary people -- like me. Thanks for the great tips. I'll stay glued to your posts.
Hey Walter. I have a class later and cannot watch the video chat . Any shot I can watch a recording of the chat later?
Yes, I'll record it and post a replay. Thanks Artie.
Thanks
Agreed.
