I wish more Substack writers understood the truth of this statement about people who don't want to do self-promotion: And to them, we would say: that almost assuredly condemns your writing to the bin of great writing never read.
If we didn't promote ourselves, our Substack would be long dead. Listen to the chicken!
As a book editor I appreciated his comment about the need for editing your writing. So very true. Especially today, with the proliferation of self-publishing. I can’t tell you how often aspiring writers publish a book online and then realize later that it’s riddled with typos, terrible syntax, plot-holes, 2-dimensional characters, weak story-arc, you name it. Most newbies nowadays lack the humility and patience (and frankly talent) it takes to write a serious book. I blame social media, the ease of online publishing, and the new culture of telling everyone they’re a writer. (It’s ‘pretentious’ to not affirm one’s innate writing skill, apparently.)
In your view, does the term Personal Sovereignty mean a citizen has no obligation to do the work of creating a More Perfect Union? How literally do you take it and do you understand the negative implications of working in an undercurrent to degrade the founding principals of E pluribus Unum?
Not for anything, part of evaluating information read on the Internet is knowing the source. Why should I follow something not know from where it came? It is reminiscent of people following Q.
I've taken stuff away from this conversation. I guess I'm one of those romantically involved with my writing.
A curious question, since I am an ex finance/ ex treasury professional. Do you think the cycle will reverse? Or will we always be doomed simply because humanity has become less humane with time?

Excellent article.
Love the chicken!

I love the anonymous chicken approach. Great animal to head that type of publication, can’t wait to read.

An obvious knock-off of Michael Bloomberg's news company. How'd U not get sued?
This is great news!
Doomberg explained some great principles. I can't wait until the next time you have Doomberg as a guest.
