Starting Here: Returning to the First Essay I Wrote on Substack

from From the Hand Hosted by Angelina Danae

This week on the podcast, Angelina Danae returns to her first-ever essay on Substack. In "Starting Here," readers learn about a meeting back in 2023 that served as the motivation for creating a Substack to start sharing writing publicly, the fears Angelina felt leading up to the launch, and what she had hoped for from the publication back then. If you've got a story of your own about a critical event or experience that led to a pivot in your creative practice, please reach out and share! You can connect with Angelina Danae either on Substack (fromthehand.substack.com) or via her website (fromthehand.co). Tune in next week for more writing from the hand, for your ears.
