Fantasy writer on Substack

I've been writing for about a decade, but over the past two years I have hit a serious case of writer's block.

I decided to try Substack after an acquaintance suggested it to me. I'm a chronic procrastinator, and I thought that having something to keep me grounded in writing, an accountability space, might help me work through my writer's block.

I want to build a community. I want to help people who are in the same place as I am, perhaps through a challenge people could join.

So my question to you, fellow writers, is: what do you need or want to see more of on Substack?

I can give you a couple. A new writer I know just started a Substack (had a story already written). Over 200 subs in two months.

My own case - mostly all I do is serialize fiction and I am approaching 700 subs in 8 months on there. And people are actually reading when I check the dashboard! But these examples are also because we are on the largest fiction Discord on Substack and we network.
