I have been thinking about why writing has become harder in recent years. I blame what I call the ‘Substack effect’. In short–the sudden, huge success of the Substack blogging platform has raised the bar for online, short-form non-fiction writing. The popularity of Substack has both raised the quality of online writing in the aggregate, and increased readers’ expectations of other’s writing. Consequently, this means more work in the writing process and stiffer competition.| Grey Enlightenment
