Love the work bro. I just came on substack for the first time in a while and see you have completely blown up. I am back on the writing train now. I have been enjoying it a lot. Using you for inspiration now.

Thanking you for being a part of my new environment. Reinforcing who I want to become. I hated writing in school, but I can't wait to finish and publish my first essay

I signed up the moment I saw this post! I've been looking forward to this course for a long time.

I hope to learn some practical writing methods and figure out how to turn the fragmented ideas and viewpoints in my head into persuasive articles. Thank you!

Craig, you absolutely get the product design mindset. Haha.

Anyway, I believe that almost everything worth pursuing is built, not found. Confidence, clarity, community, a sense of belonging, happiness, and even an audience are all things you build over time, not things you stumble upon. They are all byproducts of building the right hard thing.

This is the very reason I got on SubStack in the first place. And I agree, don't use AI. Let it come from what's inside you. I reposted... Great read!

I started writing essays again recently to support/understand the world my fiction writing fits into and WOW is it different - and incredibly educational!

Craig, my brother

this essay resonated with me on so many levels. Every single word felt true.

I started writing on Substack in 2024 as nothing more than a hobby. I wasn't very consistent in the beginning, but over time that changed. As my consistency grew, so did my writing.

For me, writing has been one of the greatest tools for growth and neuroplasticity. It has taught me discipline, helped me think more clearly, and changed my life in ways I never could have imagined.

I absolutely loved this essay. It reminded me why I fell in love with writing in the first place.

I truly hope to keep writing for the rest of my life. ✨
