Dear Friends,
I just published my first note on Substack Notes, and would love for you to join me there!
Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes and photos. I plan to use it to post my daily research on:
creative process
what’s inspiring me
what I’m learning
Here is an example of the shorter-form content I will be releasing on Notes. I am determined to break down my 20 years of experience in the arts into actionable steps for people who are:
Trying to reconnect with their artistic journey
Attempting to make a living in the creator economy
Searching for inspiration in life and for their projects
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Jim Kroft, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes.
Have a great evening dear friends, and thank you so much for all your long support over so many years!
x Jim
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
