things i think about while powerwashing 50
we did it
We've hit the big 50. Half of 100 newsletters. It's been quite the journey to get here. It used to be more content and link heavy — I would post some songs I was listening to or talk about some pictures I took. But these days the bulk of this newsletter is communicated via text whether it be stuff generated by either myself or by you all!
And I have to say I've definitely become more candid of a writer since then. I think I was still trying to shrug off what little was left of my journalistic writing style, but now I've fully abandoned all that. AP Style? I barely know her! I could definitely relearn but I'm my own person now.
The content has changed as well. I'm posting less pictures (because they take up bandwidth lol) and trying to focus more on building community with you all. Sometimes I really wonder if you guys read this but every week when I get anonymous subscriber submissions it makes me really happy.
Anyway it's way too late and I am tired. Look out for some more original and interesting content coming up soon! Been doing a lot of research and brainstorming and might do some reporting-ish things soon@
