Hello, Substack Writers at Work!

Every once in a while we start to feel like we’re either in a holding pattern on Substack or it’s just not working. Your subscriber numbers are stagnant. They go up and go down—or they just go down. No one likes or restacks your posts. Every morning, you wake up and tell your cats, “It’s not working” (hypothetically).

This, my friends, is known as the Substack rut. Don’t worry. You’re not alone. And I’m here to help.
