Okay, so something cool has been happening in my life that I have been doing, which Abby knows,

because she's been watching. I have, for the first time in five years, been setting my little alarm at

night to get up very early and write. I have been a writing again. And it has been a treat for me.

Okay? Me too. And then here's what I've been doing with my writing each day. I've been doing the same

thing that I did during my early blogging days where I avoided perfectionism by saying,

I'm just going to write for an hour or a half or an hour, and then I'm going to send.

Press scent. And that kept me from perfectionism, which is why all the rest of my career unfolded.

Okay.

What I've been doing with these little writings is I've been sending them in a newsletter

Okay.

I don't know what the hell is going to happen. All I know is it's great fun so far. It reminds me of my early writing days. It's just us. It's just me writing.

I avoided newsletters for so long because I don't like newsletters. I always feel like when I get one

that feels overwhelming. it feels like it's

mostly just like a report of everything the person has been accomplishing in the world,

which feels like, why is this for me? This feels like it's for you. Like should I write back

and say congratulations? Like I don't know. Anyway, I just decided I wanted, if I was going to do a newsletter, I wanted it to be

different. I wanted it just to be a little treat, like a little treat for me to write, a little treat for

whoever's opening it to like give them a little joy for the day. So it's called a little treat. I'm loving it. I just sent my first one out last week.

I think people are really liking it. And obviously, if you want to register for the newsletter,

you have to give me your email address. Obviously, I will never do anything shady with your

email addresses. Okay. I wouldn't know how, but even if I could,
