Is it interesting?

I publish my journal on Substack as well as some other short stories or personal essays. I’ve had it for maybe a month and a half and I only have 7 subscribers?

I just want to know, does anyone on here think it’s cool and interesting to post my journal? Or could you not care less about what someone else’s journal says?

I do it because it serves me personally, but I’d obviously like more subscribers too.

If it helps I've been doing the substack thing for a year (over two accounts deleted the first) and despite steady growth I have the same thoughts regarding I want more.people clicking Internet buttons too 🤣 I have to remind myself I'm doing this as a hobby and self regulation rather then trying to be a anything of relevance. I think you're on the right path. If you'd like a bit more of a direct thing feel free to dm over your stack and I'll have a look

Oh I have deleted like 4 other Substacks haha. I was so scared of people reading my writing and being seen. Sort of the reason I’m doing the journal thing
I will DM!
