I have zero issues with coming up with content for my niche, but I do need to have some fresh ways to present it and grab new readers' attention. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for your thoughtful and generous post! I find that inspiration is a quirky thing; sometimes it serves with several shovels at a time, othertimes the tap is barely dripping. Keeping a (structured) swipe file makes so much sense! I keep a handwritten 'working journal', but the ideas drown in other scribbles. That's where the structured swipe file comes in handy. I'm a total noob to Substack, I find that the learning curve is steep. Off to make a start to my swipe file NOW. Thanks again!
