Thanks, Brian! I appreciate the vote of confidence! I’m slowly - and I mean slowly - chipping away at the short story collection, but man, it’s a challenge in its own right. I started overthinking and set it aside for a few weeks. I’m also toying with the idea of self-publishing a slim volume of “fifties” - but we’ll see.

This recap was interesting and informative, Justin. I liked learning about your "history" and about your plans - and just your thought processes about writing for Substack, in general. You seem to be making some very wise decisions. You have accomplished special success in building community, as well. Good for you! 🍁Leaves wishes you the best of the best!

I love it! I can't wait to hear more about your journey and how things are going with various writing projects, past and present. I'm rooting for something in print in the not too distant future and I'm confident you can get it done. 👊👊👊

I, for one, love hearing about the behind the scenes writing content! It's so interesting to see other writers at work. I'm excited that Fifties is continuing! I love joining in when I have the time.

Justin, Great idea!

I hope it works out.

I've read a few stories from "Along the Hudson" and enjoy your work.

You comment on Roulette Weal sometimes, and those comments brought me to your stuff. I'd actually welcome longer stories.

I always like to see writers reassessing their goals and priorities. It's inspiring. I'm on the verge of refocussing things at Stock Fiction, too. I've kind of been flailing around aimlessly for the last six months. But what better way is there to find out what's working and what isn't than to experiment!!!

Justin, thanks for the summary and sharing how it’s going. You didn’t touch on how Substack is working out financially but I assume you still have a job? If not and your writing is supporting you, congrats 🎉

I’ve just scratched the surface of writing here and hope to do more as I figure it all out, while still working on my own blog. Keep up the great work! It must be keeping you very busy!
