Kara - maybe you know this, maybe you don't, but I usually read your newsletters one day late. I'm an early morning writer and your newsletters come in after I've closed my diary for the day. I use them as inspiration before I get going on my writing practice. Also, writing is not my first job. I have an actual job that pays my bills. Usually, I WFH but today is a go to the office day - with all its distractions, and noise, and expectations. I'm not sure if I would have read this newsletter yesterday that it would have the impact it has on me today. Today is a privilege. I'll build in those buffer times. I'll remember those things out of my control. Thanks so much, always.

Iā€™m really touched to know that these letters are built into your daily routine ā€” that is a dream to hear as a writer. I hope yesterday felt like a privilege, even amid the hustle and bustle. And that today feels like one as well. Happy writing!!

Your book publishing-evolution is a natural progression from "Brass Ring Daily"--- ALL content is so inspiring and reassuring!

Amen and amen!

YESSSS excellent Substack poll usage!!! I'm yet to use this feature and this was a great reminder to play around (and of course a great reminder of what's in/out of our own control :))

It was a tough call because if "cats" is a choice, I'm almost always choosing cats...but the book thing might be cool, too. :)

Maybe I can schedule Lula to make a cameo, so we can get the best of all worlds?!
