My Thought for the Week 💭
Yes, you read the title correctly and this unfortunately is not clickbait.
After 30 issues of writing the Creator Thought Thursdays I’ve decided to end the newsletter.
There are a few reasons why.
The first being…why did I think to name this newsletter with a week day in mind even though it’s really hard to keep up with that kind of consistency. Depending on the person it can help keep the consistency of publishing at a specific day every single week, yet for me I felt as though I always had a pressure to make things perfect every single Thursday until the end of time.
Secondly, I’m not sure that sharing my experiences on the content creator journey has been as fulfilling as I thought it would be, or if it would even be enjoyed by others in the long run. Also that finding inspiring or helpful content every week can be somewhat difficult given the amount of other things I have going on.
Lastly, I’ve come to realize that writing a weekly newsletter isn’t as fun as drawing visuals that others can relate to. Who knows, maybe I’ll start a visual newsletter.
Even though that the newsletter is coming to an end I’m still so happy that I took the opportunity to try doing it.
If you’ve ever been curious about writing a newsletter then I highly recommend giving it a go! It’s a great way to get into writing more often and is very low stakes, so why not try?
I do intend on having another newsletter in the future, just when I am able to dedicate more time and energy, and hopefully will have a co-writer to help me out as well.
I’ve been considering switching from Substack to Convertkit given it would be useful to have automated pipelines that benefit both me as a creator and subscribers that would like content/resources without me manually having to provide them as soon as someone signs up.
Substack is great to start, but if you want more automation and to run things more like a business then Convertkit is definitely the way to go!
Once the new newsletter is up and running - you’ll be the first to know!
Thank you for reading and supporting me in this newsletter journey.
I can’t wait to see what the future brings.

Creator Quote of the Week 🗣️
Maybe a tad narcissistic - I’m featuring myself this week!
I feel as though we should always take pride in the things we’ve created, especially things that other people have resonated with and enjoyed.
