Substack readers can greatly encourage writers by clicking on the “like” button, and even more by making a brief comment - even something as simple as “Thanks” for the post, and what really helps any writer to reach more people is re-stacking the post. We all need encouragement. Writing every week takes a lot of time and research. If you appreciate our efforts, let us know it!
I have been surprised several times when personal friends who are also subscribers come up to me and say, ‘Al, I appreciate your substack posts and read them every week!’ I would never have known, because they had never even clicked a “like” button!
Although we’ve never met, I really enjoy your posts. I especially enjoyed the one explaining how the spinning nature of electricity generators is essential to its success to increase or decrease demand as needed. There have been many more but that one took a complicated topic and put it down to basics for an average person to understand. Also about the company trying to crack coal and extract multiple sources of energy from it. Pretty exciting stuff! Hope you’re feeling better as each day passes.
I agree. As a small time writer, I appreciate every comment and like. I try to at least like every entertaining, informative, or useful post even if I don't have time for a thought out reply.
