Today, I'm celebrating the sixth anniversary of my publication, which has resulted in 314 weekly sketches and mini-essays being published over the past six years.1
Frank Harmon’s Native Places blog is one of my greatest inspirations for this project. The formula is simple: pair a sketch with a mini-essay, share it online, and repeat.
I send this newsletter once a week, but I sketch and write every single day.
Every year, I have a different feeling about what I do here.
I’m figuring it out. But I enjoy every bit of it and will continue writing, drawing, and publishing for years. (I encourage you to discover the power of writing: start with one word per day.)
I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, comments, and suggestions, and invite you to write a comment, reply, send me a voice note, or send me a private message.
Thank you, as always, for pushing me to keep going.
Happy newsletterversary.
