I am having a terrible and potentially evil urge to start a substack. Does anyone have any tips? Does anyone know what one does with such a thing? Would any of you follow me??? I think for better or worse I was maybe made to blog and that way maybe I can stop annoying my friends so much. (To be clear I don’t think any of you are evil for having substacks I am just naturally suspicious of my own desire for attention and maybe that suspicion is itself evil??)

Headwater Fly Fishing: A little self serving, ok very, but I write about fly fishing here. I don’t talk gear, mostly about fly fishing culture, philosophy and life in the river.

I think you should do it, and just look at is an experiment. Play around, have fun. If you're having fun folks will love to join in and follow along. My favorite thing in life is getting peeks into someone else's brain, and that's what I think a good substack does. I'll follow you! Mine is haleyharmon.substack.com

Start your Substack: writer, go write.

i am delighted whenever someone i read publishes a substack. it’s my favorite digital outlet on the internet. i never feel bad about using it. it keeps me connected to people i love who actually engage with my music and art. it brings me back to the blogspot / blogger / live journal days.

do it, girl.
