my own body has been hot garbage for three days. i feel you.
the substack growth planning hub is a 25-module notion workspace that turns guesswork into an organized community-building, reader-finding, publishing center. organize your chapters, images, branding, followers, supporters, metrics, planning, content, growthβall in one place. data is revealing.
if your substack strategy is currently βpost and hope,β this is for you.
writers who treat their substack like a like a publishing platform tend to build one. π€
this is what i use everyday now. it helps.

This is amazing! Wonderful! Congratulations!
Our society gathers tonight to remember: writers are historians of the present. Your refusal to document makes erasure easier. Nerys says write the uncomfortable truth. The shelves will protect it from burning.
feeling like having some lemon pound cake
I checked the rules to the game of life and I believe you are supposed to leave it there. Do not touch.
Faceless content strategy for book launches: pre-written email sequences, scheduled social posts, downloadable chapters, automated evergreen funnels. Set and forget.
Today's potion: focus-over-fear formula. For writers paralyzed by what's coming. Nerys says you can't prevent what you won't document. Write the warning. Even if no one listens. Especially then.
Rain, glass, breath. The aesthetics of dread.
My editor: Can you cut 10,000 words? Me, looking at my 150,000-word manuscript: But which 10,000? Every word is my baby.
They don't want you educated, autonomous, or angry. Be all three. Aggressively.
in a mood; felt like decorating my iPad keyboard cover.
writers who use notion well have a quiet advantage most of them never talk about.
itβs not just a notes app. it can be a whole publishing life and writing system if you build it right.

The finished book is the dream.
My manuscript exists in four different documents because I kept starting over and couldn't bring myself to delete the old versions. I tell myself this is having options.
There is something deeply romantic about the idea of a writer alone with their thoughts. There is nothing romantic about what those thoughts actually are at hour three of a writing session.
Write drunk on paranoia. Edit sober with malice.
They say write what you know. I know avoidance
Misogyny since the dawn of time.
Oh no! But also congrats? Hoping you can still use aspects of it or that the rewrite isnβt too badβ¦.
There's no bonding quite like two people who push each other to be better athletes and better people. That's the foundation right there.
