Writing with authenticity isn’t always easy. I’ve been guilty of all the below in my writing journey. But I’m finally quitting the habits that have held me back.

Last week I turned on paid subscriptions. I’d been putting it off because I wanted to wait until I had something really cool to offer my paid subscribers. Then I read How to Make Money with Substack: Unlock the Power of Subscription Newsletters by (free if you have Kindle Unlimited – or with a free KU trial – highly recommend). In it she talks about various monetization models, including what I’m calling the ‘donation model’.
