I don't even know what Twitch is haha but I loved what you wrote here. I try to just enjoy writing and occasionally connecting with someone through here.
I strongly agree. I'm not trying or needing to earn an income online, I'm writing because I enjoy it. Actually, you can't currently pay me on Substack as I haven't got Stripe sorted yet.
After a lifetime of journalism and language teaching, it's fun just to be able to write because I just enjoy it.
I mean, how many people are really interested in a series about raising orphan bats?
Or how many people will be interested in my next piece about visiting a 30,000 year old Aboriginal oasis in remote Queensland?
Yet I'm interested, and I write assuming somewhere out there someone else is also interested.
It's good for my mental health, so I write. And that's all the justification I need.

Awh thanks so much Victoria! Yes, I feel like finding cool people is so much more rewarding than just focusing on growth.

Exactly. You have to write what you enjoy and what feels authentic to you.
