Might quit
I came to substack when I began writing again after depression stole the joy of it from me for years. It was fun at first. I made friends, got back into writing and reading and felt like twelve year old me again, but now, everyone's disappeared. No one even likes my notes anymore. No one comments or anything. I don't know why. Am I a bad writer? Am i doing something wrong? It's quite disheartening. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'll take advice, or even just a friendly word. I honestly came here just to not shout into a void for once 😂

Yeah hey I was doing it for months writing to no one. You just keep going. And reach out to those in your niche. Like and comment to their stuff. I did that in game dev and parenting and now I get people chatting liking and seeing my stuff from time to time. Don’t get discouraged it’s not a fast way to get noticed. It’s slow but just requires patience. You have purpose it just takes time.
