I actually struggle to keep up with so many social media platforms, even here on Substack, where we now have not just posts and comments, but also the newer chat function (and now Notes, too!).
But, for paid subscribers participating in the Essay in 12 Steps Challenge, the chat has been offering a great place to connect each day, share questions and frustrations (this attention assignment is hard!), and get real-time feedback from me and other writers.
So, I wanted to make sure everyone knows about the chat, in case you want to check it out.
To join the WITD chat, which I’m calling Shimmers & Shards, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
