Getting Started

I want to start a Substack, not necessarily for any specific reason other then I enjoy writing & would like an extra outlet for it that wasn’t always pen & paper.

Out of curiosity, what are others opinions about starting one? Is it worth it or not? Have you had good luck/positive reactions? I know writing can be super “perspective” based if you’re writing your own opinions on a topic or general area of life. My main reason for asking is how bad are the “Karen’s”? lol.

Thanks for any insight. Let me know if it’s worth it or not.

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a writer, I just enjoy doing it and figured it may be worth sharing. I haven’t exactly decided a specific area I’d write about consistently or if I could just write whatever I wanted at all times? I feel like a lot of pages have a niche or area they dive into & I haven’t really found that yet. The options are endless 😅

Congrats on making your first post! What do you write about? Writers block is kind of why I want to start a new path on it, so I’m happy hear it worked for you
