I know some of you are writing stories. Possibly even short stories. @Shae Couture @Izzy Shafey @Jeff Roberts @Jonathon Dierks @Tara Ewald I just started using Substack which is a great way to publish your writing to an audience. You can post full essays or articles or stories. They also have a paid subscription like Patreon. I know @Shae Couture has a 1000 story ideas that may never make it to be a full novel or series, but this is another option for building a paying fan base that will buy your books or pay to read short stories as you continue to write. Strategies like this can start to make your work more tangible. And draw people in as eager readers. You can add tiers and each tier gets access to different things. Maybe you post the first story in a series for free and the sequels are in the paid tier etc. However you structure your substack subscription, you can get your work out there, even unfinished ideas, leave cliff hangers, get readers wanting more. Have a tier where you post story ideas that you arent going to write. Make people pay for your creativity. Let me know what other ideas you have around this. How could you leverage tools like this to make your writing start to work for you?

Ive been using Pinterest for a while to find pictures but have found that there are a lot of great writing tips on there. Im sure other sites like tumbler and reddit do too but I dont use them. Here is my Pinterest board of writing tips. Ill continue to add to it over time https://pin.it/yfSIG3wfH
