Thank you for your posts, that I just discovered! I love your drawings and your writing. You asked for it and here I tell you about my experiences. I made a post about animal migrants a few weeks ago, but it is in German (as I am German): https://joergscholz.substack.com/migranten
I do something quite similar to your art, but I don’t draw in public, I draw at home, and I do it every day. Sometimes I share those drawings and small stories: https://joergscholz.substack.com/may-2022
I just began my substack and it is a big obstacle, that this platform still is lacking writers and readers in the German speaking countries. I am really impressed how many subscribers you have. So, could you please tell me your secret (apart from publishing in English which in fact is a big advantage)?
That was a beautiful story about the crane, Jörg! I loved the drawings too. Thank you for sharing them with me. 🙏
Regarding growth as a newsletter, my main focus has been to deliver a unique product to my readers' inbox, something different from everything else and that they are happy to share with others. A lot of my growth has happened this way. Another major contributor was the recommendations of other writers. I think every writer has their own trajectory and we must not burden ourselves with how another person succeeds or fails. With that in mind, I would suggest thinking about the audience for your work (millions of German speaking people in Germany and around the world) and what best aligns your curiosity with theirs. Good work, art, and writing, always comes from the heart and what guides the heart is curiosity. Stay with that and everything else should follow. (I hope so for myself too!) 🙌
Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate the things you tell me. And I feel you are right. For me, your personal story is really interesting, because you once had a different job and changed to being and make a living as an artist. That’s the same I try to do. And, you saw it in the crane-story, it gets more complicated when you have to feed some children. Did you see my other post ”May 2022“? I just saw that you made a similar challenge just one month before that!
Note all the verbs : bathing, burping, feeding. It's all about action. Never stop serving the King! Love the posts about the birds. I am sure Rohan is enjoying the symphony.
Thanks for joining us on the Reframeables podcast! A super conversation that has continued to be thought provoking for me long after we pressed record.

Wait! I have something in English, too! I wrote and drew a story about a migratory bird that visits my family at home: https://joergscholz.substack.com/the-visit
