Yesss 🙌 That’s why this is my favorite type of content to publish.

That's so interesting. I am also starting to see that having conversations and actively looking for and engaging with other creators is more important than I thought.

Lidiya Kesarovska's avatar

Seems to be THE thing to do. It’s even more important than writing, hehe.

I would have never thought that prior to coming here.

The idea of measuring the depth of the comments instead of just counting subscribers is clever. I've spent years watching traffic dashboards across my sites, but I’m finally figuring out that the smaller group of readers who respond, ask questions and trust your judgment could hold more business value than a huge but passive audience.

Exactly! Thanks for reading, Sarita.

Thank you, David and Lidiya, for this interesting interview. I also recognize here my first steps, as well as my intention to slow down. You are right - there are waves - technological, relational, substantive. Thank you for sharing your personal reflections on writing and on the platform as a whole.
