I have one (1) functioning synapse to contribute to the cause but that's gonna max me out I'm afraid :(
Really excited to see you resurfaced on Substack! Really excited that you're ready to go all-in on the fiction writing, too. Looking forward to getting my little rat-hands on more of your work in the coming months.
I bounced into your stack from a comment on Kingsnorth's: this is how yours will grow. There are only two further conditions: write stuff, and try to make the stuff you write good. Substack seems to operate mostly on writers recommending one another and readers telling their friends about cool things they read.
I had less than 20 readers, then Kingsnorth linked to a thing I wrote (months after I wrote it). The next day I had over 200. Once you hit that point, network effects kick in, and you start getting a trickle of new subs every day.

Commiserations.
