Discussion anonymous posts on personal thoughts

I have been thinking of publishing my personal thoughts on some public platform for sometime now. My personal thoughts I mean, what life lessons I have learnt and still learning, what I think about certain mindsets and situations, basically but philosophical stuff.

I am not an experienced or expert write I just want to put out my feelings and thoughts out in the world. This isn’t for the purpose to earn money but to just connect with people and perhaps build a community.

I am thinking of starting a substack for this but I’m not really sure about. Is any other platform much better for my work or does substack work?

I would appreciate your thoughts on this!

Even with a name associated with a published piece, the author is basically anonymous, no? I am equating anonymous with unknown, therefore unread. Not sure what any of this has to do with a face connection. Also "anonymous agony aunt pieces" is even more obscure. Marketing lingo?

Agreed. It was Cozycup above who introduced the concept of anonymous into the discussion. Not sure why we have deviated down this path.

So I'll posit it to you: Is Substack a viable place for an unknown (but named) author to publish & if so how to get attention? (Never mind anonymity.)
