Beautifully written. When I first joined Substack I kept wondering if my post was too long. Once I realized I’m competing for people’s time and hearts, I began cutting and gutting. Everyone’s work is worth reading- the writer has to make it worth their time.
If I had more time I would've sent you a shorter email

This is very well said! Writing something short is always a challenge. Even this comment took me like 5 minutes to edit 😂
