My dragon is that I, like you, have too many specific interests. However, I also have three Substack newsletters lol. That's the easiest way I could figure out how to separate my brain into coherent sections.
I have considered that, too. lol. I also wonder if there's a way I can make them play nicer together. I need to pretend I'm a client so I can think clearer. lol
Hey Kristi - I have a question. Do you have all 3 under one profile, or did you need to set up different profiles for each one? I think I'm going to start a new one and not sure if I need a new profile entirely, or if I can add a second one to this one. :)
They're all under one profile/email address. If you click on my little round picture it takes you to a profile page that tells what all my newsletters are.
If you click on your own little picture and go to account settings there's an option to create a new publication all under the same email address. It's awesome, really.
Oh that's cool. The first one has the continuous feed thing going like Medium, but the ones you added after have more of a magazine layout. I like that.

I only get one? I think I have several with one of them ready to 'light me up' with little or no warning. Thus the asbestos shorts. :-) Have a great weekend!
40 years ago, the man that was my father-in-law noted that the scope of our interests continually grows. When he was young, a person may have one hobby and often a very small subset of that hobby. He used the example of carving wooden Santas. By his generation, a man wanted to attempt all the aspects of woodworking from box making, bowl turning and furniture making while still having a decent golf game and knowing where all the great places to fish existed. It's gotten worse over those 40 years. Now we need to travel the world, fill social media with our vast array of skill conquests, play fifteen different sports and more. I can only imagine what it will be like in the next 40 years.

Haha! I've also considered that but have so far managed to avoid it. Good luck! :)

None of mine for together which is why I figured I should just separate everything.

You can change the homepage look to the magazine theme. Substack is stepping it up a bit.
Seems you're talking about what Steven Pressfield calls 'Resistance.'
My dragons? Hm... somehow, when it's time to get to writing/editing, I find other 'important' things to do.

My dragon - the top most monstrous one bellows "you suck. get a new gig."
