Love this…I felt such an exhaaale reading it. I spent 8 hours y’day writing and rewriting one single substack letter. 😬😵💫At 22.05 I published it. And then at around midnight, I unpublished as waves of fear and anxiety about it gripped me. This morning I’ve re-published it! 😂 Hahahaha! Who needs a rollercoaster when you write publicly?!🫣🎢
"Just because others are doing it, perhaps in their thousands, does not mean you can't do it and absolutely crush it." - I really need to be reminded of this every now and then! Every so often I catch myself thinking "but there's thousands of other people writing about similar things" - but you're right, that shouldn't stop me! thanks!
I loved this. It motivates and refreshingly directs, encouraging creators to embrace their uniqueness even when they feel like everything's been done before. I particularly enjoyed your emphasis on the importance of personal experience in bringing a fresh perspective to familiar ideas.

You got it!
You have beautifully captured the reason that I tell myself to restrain doing something that excites me.
Much needed one, thank you Alex!
thank you!
i always need to hear this advice: "It takes continually stepping into the unknown and feeling weird doing it."
going ahead and publishing things that aren't perfect is what I am forcing myself to do. i figure that it will all work out in the end.
Good for you, Elizabeth

Thanks Jon! Personal experience counts for a lot.
