Writing about writing after almost two years of writing on Substack
Some reflections so far

Substack has made it easier for new writers to get started.
Writing has to be fun. Otherwise, you won’t enjoy it and won’t keep it going.
Knowing what to write about is half of the battle (the other half is consistency).
If you don’t have an editor, then you are the editor - therefore, edit well!
Writing is rewarding, but not in a black-and-white way.
It’s easier than ever to get started
In May 2023, I published my first post on Payments Culture. Almost two years later, this is my 39th post. I wish I'd published more often, but at the same time, I’m happy to have maintained at least some level of consistency. I published something almost every month since December 2023. (All posts can be found here, in the archive.)
I’ve wanted to do a post like this for a while. I’ve wanted to write a post about writing.
But I’m really bad at talk…
