I would love to see more content about writing, but that's purely selfish. I'd love to read about what you learned from doing your short course. I'd also love to read about where you always find those beautiful art pieces, it really sets your Substack apart from others! Keep it up, I love reading your stuff ☺️

Sorry for the late reply Sophie! Moving has been less than ideal, and I'm trying to form a new routine.

You are so sweet! I'm leaning towards writing more about my experiences as well as connecting them to different studies I read about productivity-it feels like the best of both worlds.

I honestly save a lot of them while on instagram and pinterest! I'm not that much of a fan of ai art but I don't have the money for cover art, so showcasing artists is the next best thing :)

That's cool, it is great to showcase real artists! In terms of writing, you should definitely focus on what you enjoy writing about as well, that way it'll shine through in your writing!

I really resonate with your comments about writing changing with emotions. I've noticed that with my writing as well. I've also noticed a recent change in sentence structure and the words I'm using. I think that has a lot to do with the book I'm currently reading. The writing in the book is more descriptive and complex and I'm seeing that develop in some of my posts right now too. Wishing you all the best as you continue exploring and learning about yourself through your writing!

Hi Tiffany, I apologize for the late reply! Moving this last week has been a process🥲

That's so interesting! This might be anecdotal, but I've heard about similar transformations before. When you read, sometimes your writing style changes to emulate the author. I haven't seen it in my writing yet but I'm sure I will. Thanks for the kind wishes, right back 'atcha!

Write whatever you feel like writing Kate!

Substack has been the best thing I've done in a very long time. As your opening point says, when I write there is nothing else I feel I should be doing.

Compared to singing, dancing, or another form of expression, writing really is my muse. Thanks for the vote of confidence Stefano! I'll continue to do what I do best- write :)
