Appreciate your advice.

The waiting is the hardest part.

Not the writing. Not the editing. The waiting.

Thank you for talking about it so honestly.

Pinterest didnt work for me. But collaborating with larger substack platforms have and promoting on Facebook. I signed up for Threads just this week. Already I can see how it can leveraged instantly.
