@Kristen-Lango @Jeremy-Ross Would I be correct in assuming that newsletters are the new blog? Do you treat your Substack as a blog? I started with blogging when I began exploring childrens illustration and miss that type of community. I am thinking of resurrecting/revamping my old blog, but wonder if it is worth it.

Jeremy Ross

Yep! @tombarrettillo

It’s a great medium for writing and possibly helping others in your community.

Kristen Lango

@tombarrettillo I think that's accurate Tom!

I sort of treat it as a place to explore my own thoughts about the things I'm working on. Would love to follow you on there!

I think you just do it, Substack feels like a really low pressure place to me.
