Great read Russell. One key take away for me: persistence is key. There is no rush. There is no need to feel tired. You are not here to go back. You are here, to never look back.

I truly believe what we really look for in the moment..we find it.

I hav been thinking about marketing, I have no idea about it to be honest. Have just been to excited to write.

But yes maybe I need a marketing practice and this post is my sign to embark on that journey. Thank you!

Holy shit. I honestly don't know that I've read an article that completely reshaped my own vision for my career before.

I've never once thought about how every year new people can discover your work that couldn't before. Plus, the model of gathering fans quicker and quicker makes a lot more sense.

Creative endeavors aren't a race but something to build on. That's been something I've been trying to learn. It's gotten better but still not entirely there.

Thank you for all of this information and I think it's given me a new lease and outlook on my own writing.

Honestly, Russell, I think this particular article was magical... at least for me. Not only can I relate to each section...I believe I can relate to the flywheel.

I doubt I have anything close to what you do as a set up... but I tend to look at substack as a flywheel for myself.

It has helped me in so many ways, and allowed me over the past 13 months, to develop new good habits and systems of doing my projects.

Really great article.

One of my favorites, by far.

Thank you.
