Join me on Notes
A place for us to share ideas
(That’s me with my awesome new friend, writer Sarah Leibov, after discussing our chapters from the brand new anthology, Relative Strangers: Inheritance, Identity, and the Meaning of Kinship)
Hi everyone,
I hope you’re having a nice start to the week.
Wanted to let you know — if you don’t already — that I’m on Substack Notes, and I’d love for you to join me there!
Unlike Substack posts (like the one you’re reading), Substack Notes are little snippets and snapshots where Substackers can drop quick ideas, pics, and links.
Most important — Substack Notes give us a great opportunity to connect snd share our ideas. I call it the land of digital possibility. Lol.
I hope you’ll pop over to Substack Notes and check out not only my writing, but ALL the meaningful ways to connect with others there.
Pro tip: introduce yourself on Substack Notes by telling others what kinds of topics you’re most interested in, and then sit back and watch your feed fill up with posts that really resonate.
Have an awesome week!
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Writers' Haven by Christine Wolf, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of Writers' Haven by Christine Wolf can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
