--- Will Parker Anderson, in How much content should you give away?, Writers Circle on Substack, 9 august 2025
Excerpt
Your greatest obstacle is not being copied; it’s being ignored. I don’t know any writers whose ideas were stolen before they could publish them (though I know this happens on rare occasions), but I know thousands who keep their ideas to themselves, thinking one day their moment will come.
Meanwhile, their ideas collect digital dust … unseen, unread, unknown.
Every time you share a piece of content (a note or post on Substack, an email newsletter, a chapter excerpt), think of it as a piece of kindling. The more fuel you provide, the higher the chance it will spark a reaction in your readers.
