Colleen is in one of the fastest growing and most controversial niches on Substack, she's only two months here and she's already getting paid subscribers!
Again, thank you so much for this interview, Yana! 🩷🩷🩷 I’ve never been interviewed like this before. I was holding an iPad on my lap and speaking into that. I won’t do it like that anymore. 🤣🤣 That’s why I was bobbing all over the place! 🤣🤣 Next time, I’ll sit at a desk. 🤣🤣 You live and learn! 🤷🏾♀️ 🙂🙂🙂
You were amazing, Colleen! Of course, we improve with every step of the way. You’re so active, that I’ll most probably select you again for another spotlight session :))
enjoyed the interview. Colleen, I wanted to tell you that I wake up every morning between 3 and 5 AM without an alarm. I've never used an alarm.. It doesn't even matter what time I went to sleep.
The story goes that when my grandmother lived with us when I was a baby even less than one year-old my mother would have me sleep with her and when she got up to write (she was a published writer. I guess she set me on the floor and give me crackers. I sat there as she wrote. Maybe that's when the writer and me started but I didn't realize it until I started writing at age 64 last year. Wild how things work out.
But when I get up, I grab my hot herbal tea and my iPad and I voice texting into my iPad. Everything that I'm writing and then I edit it and set it up to publish. The good thing is I wake up with a clear mind or with an idea I dreamed about and I'm very passionate about it when I wake up and so that's when I write. I have to write when I'm passionate. I've written down hundreds of ideas of things I'm gonna write about but sometimes when I come back to it if I don't feel the passion, I won't write it then after that I do notes or I might start with notes depending on the time of day and check comments and notifications. next thing I know it's 10 o'clock and I've done a lot of work. So that's what works for me.
Congratulation on your growth and I'm glad that you found substack or it found you . Wishing you much success 🤗💕🙏💯💪🚀
Hi, Kathleen! Thank you for listening to my interview! I was at the dance studio where I go when Yana released this. So I just got the chance to watch it! ( It’s almost midnight where I am.) ~~ I’m so happy you’re a writer now! 🙂 My process differs from yours because I never let my writing sit. I just write and publish. But that’s because I’ve been a ghostwriter and had to produce for clients. They want their content “yesterday.” In other words, they’re not interested in waiting long. So, I learned how to write quickly and just go with it.
we both live in Florida. I'm just north of you.. I write edit and publish all at the same time as well. If it's too early when everybody else is putting out newsletters, I'll wait and do it later in the afternoon. I need to go back and read what I wrote... maybe I got too much sun today working on the 10 acres and mowing 😎

Oh wow! I didn’t know that could happen. I’ll be sure to keep up with recording my monthly Notes and posts in case I get chosen again! 🙂
