I've been writing on Substack for over a year and learned a few things: I've discovered how my thoughts constantly evolve and that waiting until they are perfectly developed before typing them out is never to write another word again. Reading my old opinions and finding that I have moved past them helps me see where I've grown or learned something. Seeing some of my words and experiences impact others has been rewarding and motivating in an often ineffable way. Competing with other writers (who don't know they are competing with me) has been beneficial. Not least of these lessons is the realization that this Substack has a life of its own; it has subverted my vision and become something else. Lastly, an honorable mention for all the lessons learned, which have become so innate I don't recall them, as there are many.
