Hi, Karen! I didn't realize you were on Substack.

As far as running out of words, yes, I keep it short. I only tend to speak when I feel I have something (somewhat) worth saying.

Hi Brandon. I'm not as well versed in how Substack works as I am with Medium, but I'm sure someday I will figure it out. Do you have a newsletter?

I'm still a bit foggy on the term "newsletter." Traditionally, I always thought it was an update about what a person has been up to. Here, isn't just the articles you write? I don't know. I send out my articles by email, though. I guess that's my newsletter. lol

Me, too. I try to write one monthly, but some months get away when my mind draws a blank. I found you and subscribed to your free one. : )

Here are my thoughts: I am a blogger who writes about life experiences - here's the thing, I find blogging to be completely diff from say writing a short story or a novel - but I agree, the less said is more - again I write with my niche and the audience who would be reading me in mind - so if I were to write about my day - there would def be spice in it hehe ;))

Your audience loves you, Yana. You are an excellent writer and have captured the recipe for what readers love to read. I agree with you. I'd say blogging is more conversational than a short story or novel. Maybe I need to add more spice to my life.
