Return To Substack

Where I've been & introducing What Amy Did

I was searching for something unrelated in my inbox when an old Substack with recommendations I’d circulated came up. I think when I disbanded Online Amy, I’ve obviously not realised I didn’t delete my publication and it is actually still here!

When I disbanded Online Amy, I was in a very negative headspace. I felt like my writing never felt good enough. I used to constantly compare myself to other writers and never gave myself any credit. I picked myself apart so much that I knew I needed to step away before I wound up becoming more and more insecure. At the time, my relationship with online life was changing. I was growing tired of social media, had fatigue on sharing my life online that I’d been doing for 11 years at this point and felt like I’d had enough.

After closing Online Amy, I deleted social media for 9 full months, took on a writing qualification and wrote privately for a while to get myself into the groove again.

In January of this year, I started What Amy Did and man, it has felt nice to just write without much of an audience and finding my feet again sharing parts of myself online. I now finally feel worthy of writing on the internet, have totally changed my outlook on life online and revamped my entire mindset.

If you still look for recommendations for books, podcasts, TV & more then please do give my new substack a follow! I’m always so appreciative of everyone who supported my journey and I hope you will follow me on my new one!

Lots of love

Amy xx
