"there is no money in the middle" i always need this reminder for when I think I'm being too extra in what i'm sharing. Being vulnerable is scary but the only way to truly connect with others, I believe.

As Ayo shared he wouldn't have hopped on the call with me (we planned this for months) if he wouldn't have know who I was.

I shared messy stories, failures, how to articles, successes, parenting stories on Medium.

He "knew" me and could somehow imagine doing an interview with me.

In addition I was invited to speak in a cohort. I'll also do this in July I think.

Wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have started 3.5 years ago and was also vulnerable.

I still don't share personal stories that often or pictures from my family.

Still in Notes I feel it's okay at the moment. Feels like a save space.

You can never be too much YOU, Elizabeth. Can't wait what you'll share with us.

Glad it sparked inspiration and ideas

As a new writer one of my (many) struggles is around consistency. How does everyone do it when life gets in the way?? I don't even have kids 😂

“Either they hate you or they love you— there’s no money in the middle.”

Fantastic interview.

Lots of great insights.

Hi C! 👋 Was great talking with Ayo. He's a great guy. People are the event, not the process. No one is born a professional writer.

Always love to cover the journey that lead to trophies and medals.

Are you a fiction writer? How are you faring with Substack so far?

Expand full comment

Hi Kristina! Yes I'm a fiction writer and am serializing my new novel through my newsletter starting next month.

Substack has been great so far. I've spent the last 10 months building my list with posts focusing on writing tips/techniques.

Now that I'm at a comfortable number of subscribers (free and paid) I'll transition into exclusively publishing fiction.

ah fantastic! I had a coaching call with one of my members and she's an author too, non-fiction. She told me that she's working with cliff hangers etc.

Keep me in the loop.

How many subs do you have an do you have built an audience somewehere else already?

I'm asking all these questions because I wanted to make a "Fiction Month" this year too for fiction writers to learn more
