Using that collapsed bridge as your central metaphor and leaping off point for your post is just wonderful. And the kind of writerly voice that makes you special. I really don't understand that person's comment about the self-focused post, at least not for certain kinds of Substacks like yours.

Sure, if you're writing about finance that might not work. But it does work for plenty and we've worked carefully to expand our focus to slowly include more topics. That keeps things fresh for us and for our readers. Well, that's the hope!
I’ve turned that comment over in my head a few times, and I’ve just decided that personal voice just isn’t something she enjoys reading. Not letting it slow me down! There are plenty of writers I follow who aren’t tied to a singular topic yet still keep me engaged. While you and Brent write about your travels and life as digital nomads, you also keep the content varied, personal, and fresh. I, for one, love that! Like Brent’s recent post on movie villains--so interesting!

Thanks! And I agree -- just not her thing.
