A Question For You, Dear Subscribers
because you seem like the right people to ask
Hi all!
Today’s newsletter will be a quicker one,1 and it’s more about you than about me actually. But in the year or so I’ve been doing Substack relatively consistently, I’ve experimented with quite a few different topics and kinds of posts.
From this, I know for certain that documenting my writing progress and sharing lessons learned from that is something I love to do. So that won’t be changing.
As for the rest, however, whether it be giving overviews of books and other things I’ve read recently, recounting travel stories, talking about writing and motherhood, setting challenges for myself, or writing more in-depth reviews of fiction I love… I feel like I’ve been a little bit all over the place in what I’ve written about on here.
I know I’ve decided that I want to pivot in the direction of brevity, whereas quite a few of my posts last year where quite lengthy. But in terms of topics, I’m less sure.
Less sure of what to choose between any number of personal interests, and less sure of what is reaching the people who read what I’m writing.
The former is on me, but the latter… it makes sense to ask you directly. Because trying to track what people are enjoying via the stats and metrics on my Substack dashboard often feels like trying to grasp smoke.
Anyway.
Whether you’ve just subscribed this past week or if you’ve been with me for over a year, what of my writing on here have you enjoyed most in the past? And, more importantly, what would you like to see from me in the future? Whether it’s more of the same or something entirely new — I am open to something totally different. Let me know what interests you!
So yeah… reply to this email, write a comment, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks so much. Have a wonderful weekend. God bless!
Peace.
Jess
And I’m posting early this week, won’t have the time to tomorrow, soooo here we are!
As someone who is always looking for my next good read, I like the book recommendation posts. :)
