E008: How is this going? redux

Kate,

I didn’t want you to think that I was entirely ignoring your earlier email, thinking about what this newsletter can be. I think my intentions are few:

  • I am concerned with my overconsumption of media, and my lack of production. Yes, everyone is starting a newsletter these days, but I get it - with all that is out there, sometimes I just need somewhere to put some thoughts about something.

  • I don’t want this to be a broadly public thing. I think this is primarily a means of communication between ourselves, and that the "writing in public” is for inviting a public to join us. As we write, and as we figure out what this means, inviting others to join us. There is something fun about the exclusivity, but also prevents this from being a chore. And writing together means there is accountability from each other.

  • I do think we should work on a description though.

Cheers,

Emily
