I used to write to hustle and get income. It taught me a lot but also burned me out creatively where I didn't write outside of my job for 10 years. And my dream was to be a novelist. I lost 10 years trying to monetize my skill and it caused me to lose the why and joy.
That's why my newsletter is just me expressing where I have thoughts, opinions, or experiences on a topic that not many people are talking about honestly. I share my posts on my three social media platforms, two of which are private for friends and family only. I've had so much joy in the process and connecting with people IRL that found meaning or hope or commonality with my writing. So I don't worry about numbers and I do it for joy. It's led me to tackling my first novel project in a decade.
I am quite erratic in posting ( barbarahuntington.com). Poetry and essays mostly, but have never figured out how to post pix since the updated Wordpress
