Kevin writes: “I spent 2021 learning to write. To treat it like a craft. To give it the respect it deserves,” and he has plenty to interpret on how writing TNF shaped his personal experience of becoming a parent and about modern parenting in general (it’s no secret TNF is a must-read for all parents, grandparents, and carers). Looking ahead, he says, “The guest posts also took things in directions I couldn’t have predicted, and will be a key area of focus for 2022.”

“Over a period of time, a lattice of your editorial decisions begin to emerge in your body of work. It reflects the choices we make, and the stories we write and those we do not pursue. It has been a valuable experience in making these decisions sometimes by intuition, mostly shaped by inherent news impulses, but always with the readers’ needs in mind.”

A few days ago I watched Peter Jackson’s Get Back, the mini-series that follows the making of the Beatles’ album, Let It Be. There is something very neutral, almost plotless, about the wonderful footage that comprises the series, which means that each viewer has to work at deriving their own meaning and themes from what occurs onscreen. My own takeaway …

He compares his feelings about the publication to the last Beatles concert, on the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters, where they escaped screaming fans to simply play and hear their voices and guitars.

The extended one-on-one interview is a favorite form of mine, which was made clear when I realized I’ve done over 100 podcast episodes with various folks in food and culture since 2018. It’s one that can go very well or very poorly; it presents the interviewer intellectually naked. If the prep was insufficient, there’s no hiding. This is why it’s also s…

Alicia writes: “I need to lay the foundation for comfort and intimacy and not assume it, and perhaps through doing so I am also creating a base of comfort from which I can jump in with those little questions for better context without insulting the other person. I need to ask people if there are pieces they’d like me to read beforehand, topics they don’t want to discuss; I need to let them know they can draw a line at any moment. I send questions in advance, but that’s not enough. Harder still is that it’s been so long since I’ve interviewed someone in person. Virtually, it’s harder to cultivate a spark.”

Elle writes: “I think having a community of peers is important for most writers—it always has been. Even Victor Hugo wrote until noon then spent the rest of the afternoon holding ‘salon hours’ for those who wished to engage him in discourse. And really that’s my whole dream for this newsletter.” About her “shoot for the moon” aspirations for 2022, she says, “My dream is to be able to write this newsletter full-time and my goal is to get there by the end of 2023. That’s two years to reach $100,000 in annual revenue and about 2,000 annual subscribers—and I’m hoping this new strategy will help me get there!”

Are you writing about a milestone in the life of your Substack publication? Send us a note about it at milestone@substackinc.com, and we’ll consider it for a future milestone post roundup (just make sure your post is available to free subscribers).
