Oh, those help, the loneliness comes in from the fact where there isn't a ton of people writing about the same stuff I am, so it's not always easy to bounce ideas off of others. Most of the interactions I have about my work come from off-line conversations I have folks that read and interact with my ideas, which is helpful, but it keeps the potential audience very closed. In other words, the audience ithat is being created will always be very narrow, but very, very invested.
It can be lonely. THat's why there's Notes, the social media platform on Substack :D
