I don’t know if this will come across well in writing but, here goes: you don’t have to worry so much about doing things or buying special perks for subscribers. I subscribe to read your writing. I don’t need a playlist or art work raffles or tchokes or anything else. I also don’t think anyone pays half as much attention to your posting schedule as you think. Work on the pieces, post when they are ready, we’re here to read them. If you need a daily deadline, that’s fine, but I’m a bit skeptical, knowing what you’ve told us about how your writing happens, that these daily newsletters will help you with longer form projects. Just my two cents

I love the idea of shorter, more conversational daily missives! I admire your work SO MUCH and I look forward to your newsletter every week! But so often your really brilliant writing sits unread for days, even weeks, in my inbox bc I don't have the spoons to devote to reading it as deeply as I want. I'm excited to engage more frequently with your thinking and context-building in a way that feels lower stakes for me as a reader, too. (Also...when *will* you be compiling some of these pieces into a book, anyway?! ;-) )

Spring Cleaning sounds nice for a playlist ... or something about April showers, metaphorically connecting that to our collective tears of overwhelm and "letting the rain fall?"
