Hi all! Getting a late start I decided that I would make today "Recommendation Saturday"! Bin Jiang is my first recommendation. Bin is so personable and he has the uncanny ability to figure out what is happening to writers on Medium.com. I also came from Medium and I felt lost here. Bin responded immediately and is quite witty. Check him out if you want to get a glimpse into how Medium works as compared to Substack. he's a lot of fun too!
Good Thursday Morning to you my friends here on Substack. First of all I want to thank you for reading my words. Secondly, I want to recommend a publication and poet who has meant so much to me as a writer - The Measured Word, by Tom Kane. He talks about anything and everything. A retired Biochemist and Poet, Tom is brilliant. I first met him on Medium.com. FOR YOU POETRY LOVERS, also check out his page, @poetrygenius.
I have met a truly inspiring author: @raljoseph and her new publication @planet.ral. It is rare to find young writers with a soul such as hers. She is real. She loves the written word and has her own genuine voice that you will find refreshing. I just subscribed to her new page, Planet Ral, and I am so happy I did! If you subscribe you can be a participant in wildly creative Saturday submissions. You will not be sorry you checked out Ral Joseph and Planet Ral! She is truly awesome!
Hi to my literary friends! I would like to take a moment to recommend an amazing talent I have discovered on Substack. Her name is Ral Joseph. As I was searching for people to follow, I came across her post about how she felt coming in from Medium.com to Substack. Needle in a haystack. Boy could I relate! As she wrote, I could feel her genuine spirit emmanate through her words so much so I subscribed and I am so happy I did! She will warm your heart on a daily basis. Love, Laney
Ok everyone, this guy is hilarious! I have been dying laughing reading this because every bit of it is so true and as a wroiter I have felt every one of these things. Even my father said one day "I sent you to college to get a well paying position and all you can do are hobbies." Poor Dad. But he stands by me anyway. At age 90 I suppose he has accepted it. Have a great laugh and read this from Marcus! Love, Laney
