Join me on Notes

Another place to connect ...

“Notes” could be an answer for us to connect.

Actually, love is the answer. Now, what was the question?

Join me on Substack’s newest innovation “Notes” that got Substack and all tweets with a Substack link banned from Twitter. Hard to believe? The New York Times, for one, covered the story.

Here’s a link to get started—in other words where you’ll find NOTES.

Here’re some tips to use it:

• Recommend: Writers and readers can recommend almost anything, including posts, quotes, comments, images, and links.

• How to write a Note: Once you’re on NOTES: Click the “+” button or start writing over the “What’s on your mind?” placeholder text to start crafting your new note.

• Restack: (like a Retweet): You can promote/share someone else’s post on Substack with or without your own text. To restack, click the circle-arrow icon wherever you see a post, note, or comment worth sharing.

• Quote: Notes lets you clip and share quotes from writers’ posts on Substack. To quote, head to the post with the quote you want to share. Select the quote you love by highlighting the text, then click “restack quote” to share it to Notes. You can choose whether to add your comment with the quote or restack it on its own.

Here’s another idea you may love: Do a guest post for me! All paid subscribers are invited—and I’ll promote your Substack or most anything else such as a lit mag or your new book (no ads tho—-as Substack is free of all advertisements—I love that!).

Write me anytime at <mltabor@me.com> and I’ll tell you how we’ll do it. Write a word doc or docx about movies, the arts, writing, or anything about the arts … About making stuff that matters.

Here’s a quote that says it all: “That is why people are here; the universe as it were needs somebody or something to keep it from falling apart. Thoughts count.” –Annie Dillard

Need a rainbow today? Here’s one from my kitchen—believe it!
