And relatable too! When I came to substack and heard the niche advice (over and over again) I too wondered how the hell I was gonna squeeze all the stuff I like to write about into a niche.
I opted for the cheeky out of being, “The Curious Platypus” because then I can write about whatever strikes my curiosity and the platypus because that furry freak wasn’t fond of categories (or should I says niches).
Thanks! Love a good curiosity, in the "Cabinet of..." sense, so your approach is right down my alley. Also platapuses have venom, so you can throw a little slap in with your tickle - nice choice. :)
The dictionary also calls a niche, "a comfortable or suitable position in life or employment." Can a writer ever be comfortable? Who determines what is suitable? You left "humorist" out of your ism list. Perhaps a gay humorist? Not as depressing as most of the others...
Love it. This is great. Glad to have stumbled into this vast niche. 😂
Thank you so much Adam, and thanks for the Note! I'm very curious about your Camino de Santiago journey, just starting to dig in... :)
This was great!
Humorous which suits the niche nicely

Yeah I’m actually Australian so the platypus has a few layers of meaning for me.
And I’m actually working on a piece about platypuses now, so I just recently learnt that they had venom - they are a very interesting creature indeed.
Thanks.
Enjoyed reading this.
You are definitely Nicheable!

Oh, you... ;)
Thank you so much, we're in this together! 🤍
