One of the things I love most about Substack apart from the brilliant writing is that the Medium community is all transferring here. I would have hated to lose touch with any of you.

I love your strategy and hope it will be very successful for you.

So true. While I don’t think it’s 100% intentional, I feel like Substack has been positioning themselves to pick up people leaving Medium.

I feel that’s my plan. I’m not a paying member of Medium, but still publish on there. Simily, I paid for a year, but I think the year is ending soon. I try to direct everyone to Substack. I guess I don’t understand it enough to promote it more.

Praying my audience finds me. I decided to focus on fiction. But “Miss” stories are highly autobiographical. Maybe, I should only focus on Substack.

I think gathering people to Substack is an easy place to keep it simple. I have been feeling like a lot of my email invites have been really gimmicky and that isn’t helping connect with a very committed readership for my books. And ultimately, that’s what I want to do is grow readers for my books.

I, too. Recovering from a fractured femur has been a gift to my writing, but I still struggle.

Thank you. It is. I thought it’d be quicker, but day by day, I’m making progress. I see my surgeon next week. I know I can’t go back to one on one with special needs kids, but I don’t know where God will lead me. There is a school nursing job not filled since last year when I had to resign. Maybe with Social Security, I can do it financially. It seems it all comes down to paying bills. Glad to be a nurse, too. Even though often, it dragged me through life.
