I’m interested in writing posts derived from lived experiences. I’m just finding myself hesitant. It feels like airing my dirty laundry. But i know there is a personal benefit to sit down and process those moments and learnings from them. And if I’m going to do that, I feel like I might as well post it and maybe it’ll help someone else or perhaps I’ll connect with others who’ve gone through similar situations and get camaraderie out of the work. I’m not sure why I’m posting this about it. Perhaps it’s a ‘dipping my toes into the pool’ moment. If you have any thoughts on this I’d be happy to read them.

I think it would be a good idea to give yourself permission to just do it. You’ve got nothing to lose.
Potential articles would be, “what I learned in getting divorced”, “how I got scammed getting a run of yo-yos made”, “how I processed and grew from getting fired”, “learning not to trade my integrity for attention”, etc.
I appreciate the supportive nudge, thank you
is posting those things a thing you've been creatively avoiding?
Yeah, I think so. I’m pretty sure they are what I actually want to write and work through and instead I’m off watching podcasts, reading Dune, or folding laundry 😅
maybe if you're having some writer's block, post drafts as kind 1, make edits, and the publish the final form on Substack/nostr
Oh dish already don't tease us. I want deets. I want deeply personal with splashes of salacious gossip. Dame el chisme!
