Some Housekeeping
new post schedules, pitch opportunities, and a poll
I am a system builder. It’s one of those rare qualities that I’m both good at it, and enjoy it. As such, I am someone who always feels they need to be refining… grinding away… getting better.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, but I’ve noticed I am someone who often spends a lot of life observing, and then doing— trampling into a room with a quiet confidence few actually possess (and something most people find intimidating, apparently).
Honestly… this is just a really long-winded and dramatic way of saying I’ve been doing some soul searching and figuring out how best to spend my precious time.
The conclusion I’ve come to is I’m tired holding the door open for others, while forgetting to let myself in the damn room. I am incredibly assertive, but for some reason… not when it comes to my own needs and goals.
This lovely little newsletter has kept me accountable, and given me autonomy in my writing. It also can’t become a weird crutch, so in the spirit of system building and spring cleaning, here’s some ch-ch-changes and new expectations around here 💗
New Post Schedule 📆
I will try and be consistent, but I’m not going to say things aren’t going to come up. Here’s what the goal is:
“The Weekly Rundown” post, including weekly recommendations, tips, and goal-setting prompts every Monday or Tuesday for paid subscribers, and two days later for everyone else.
A new original post every week on topics ranging from current events, pop culture, parenting (and co-parenting), having a career in Hollywood, writing, astrology, and organization.
Guest Posts (see below for more!)
Free Write Friday, where I share an original (written on the spot piece) or sneak preview of a first draft project. Others can also share their “free write” Friday posts in the subscriber chat.
Guest Posts 👯♀️
I’ve always wanted a writing space that felt like a community, so I’m very excited to announce I’ll be accepting submissions for guest posts. Please send a message with your pitch and the best email to contact you.
Poll: What Do You Want More Of?
Now it’s your turn to chime-in, as I’m figuring out my writing schedule for next month, what would you like to see me write about?
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week. Be kind, but take no sh*t.
