I recently bumped into you on instagram and that is what made me create an account. I fell in love with your writing and it’s made me consider starting to publish my essays in September once I start university. Do you have any advice on starting to write on this platform? I am a bit uneasy about just starting.
ah alexia, hello and welcome to the lovely community of substack :') I have no advice except just to start. things seem a lot scarier in your head! if it's helpful, you can compare some of my old newsletters (from 2023) to the ones I write now and see the difference (and the growth!) between the two. so much of writing and publishing and being vulnerable is trying out a lot of different things and seeing what sticks. you don't know what you don't know. I can't wait to read your first piece!! definitely rooting for you <3
