A Very Fun Poll!
If you do my poll, I will love you even more than I already do, truly.
TL;DR: There are two very short polls at the bottom, I’d be so happy if you did them! ❤️
Hi everyone! I took today through July 10th off my admin job to work on my novel, whee! Last night I got stoned to, like, relax into the week, get equal parts zen and pumped, whatever. I ended up reading over some things I’ve recently written, which I often do when I’m stoned, don’t judge, and one of the things was my latest post. I liked it! But.
There’s a part of my brain that comes out when I’m stoned which is very honest but so totally kind, like it’s not a stressful kind of honesty, and that part said, “Baby, these letters are too fucking long!” and whatever part writes them was like, “Yeah, I know.”
When I started this thing, I promised myself that I would post at a rate that was sustainable for me, I wouldn’t apologize all the time, and I would just write what I like to write, the kind of stuff I like to read.
But I have to admit when I open some newsletters by writers I really like and it’s super fucking long, I feel overwhelmed and just skim it or close it thinking I’ll open it later and then I never do. My attention (like most people’s?) is shot. I have noticed that lots of you open the email each month (thank you!) but I have no idea if anyone’s actually reading all of that??
I have some ideas around mitigating this issue (should you agree that it’s an issue), and if you’d do my two short polls below, I’d be forever grateful! You can also leave a comment if you’d like! That’s it for now! Thank you, thank you.
