Inspiring, once again. I'm very flattered to be mentioned.

Given the relatively constrained structure of Substack, this hero article is key. I love the idea of periodic updates. Thank you!

Interesting.. I pinned my first post since that was sort of an introduction.

Funny thing about the AI part though. Since I'm from a non-english speaking country, I actually kinda need AI to fix my mistakes. As well as the grammar/spelling as my non writing knowledge. My english isn't nearly as good as yours (yet). And I also like playing around with AI imagery 😂

Haha whatever works! My husband has help with grammar from AI in English too, so I definitely recognise the benefits if needed! Maybe I’m just too stubborn 😅

I’m too far away from the cultural implications of what this word means in English, so I’ll just go ahead and make my own interpretation of which I decide it’s a surprised encouraging compliment 😂 #perksofbeinganon-native

Elin, I love everything you write. You approach writing with such honesty, transparency, and generosity. I’m in total admiration of your work. I had meant to comment on your hero post but I thought you letting people know who would NOT be a good fit for your work was such a genius move.

This is super inspiring, Elin, thank you. As I settle into finding my themes, I'm planning on writing a hero post in the coming weeks and I'll be sure to keep these tips bookmarked for when the time comes!!

Wonderful Elin. That's it! I'm in. I'm sold. I'm going to see what my hero post, for 'The Rejection Deal' has to say! Thank you Elin, as ever, again. My day's better for having read something you've written and shared

Love this Elin and would love to experiment more with substack reflections given I’ve been on and off writing on here for 3.5 years. I know though that the majority of my readers wouldn’t care about these pieces, so I’ll need to figure out if I can just write for a selected group somehow (like those reading on the app).

I loved your hero post and can’t stop thinking about creating one too. Too many things I want to do all at once 😂 creative mind in overdrive

Yay that would be valuable to get those long term reflections too!! How the platform has changed through the years and what to it experience is/has been through those years and maybe even a reflection on where it may continue to develop? Would be a fun one to see how much that turns out to be true in one year from now!
