It takes real courage to step back and acknowledge when something needs to change, especially when that thing has been meaningful and healing. Your honesty about not being able to do everything at once is refreshing - it's a lesson many of us learn the hard way. Wishing you all the best with grad school and excited to see what direction your writing takes next!
Change is a good thing!! Congrats on entering a new chapter - I'm excited to see what's next for your writing (if) you decide to pick it back up. Good luck with grad school. I loved Celebrating Setbacks and I'm sure whatever you do next will be just as incredible.
Congratulations on starting your grad school program, Anna! 🥳 And cheers to having the courage to change. I adore your work in all forms, and look forward to seeing how it evolves!
Thank you so much Maddie for the kind words - and in fact, your beautiful ability to change direction has inspired me too. So thank YOU - it's amazing how words can have far-reaching impacts <3
Congrats on your grad school program Anna, and congrats on making a choice to take a step back with the newsletter so you can figure out your next path! As you say, very easy for you to try and juggle everything, but it also seems that you understand that if it no longer serves the purpose you originally used it for, then instead of continuing blindly, you’re consciously taking a step back before taking another step forward, which is a pretty mature thing to do!
Bit of a bummer i won’t lie, resonated with your topic of choice, celebrating setbacks. Not to mention that I’m forever grateful to you for introducing me to the Midnight Library, which of course recommended in turn by Chris (whom i follow these days as well) as well as some of our discussions post-book recommendation haha. Anyways, it was lovely reading the interviews you conducted, and the subsequent reflections, and I’m sure I’ll read the next evolution of whatever you write. All the best in the meantime!
Thank you so much for always reading and supporting, Jimmy - it means the world that there are people out there whom this stuff resonates with. I’m SO glad you like the Midnight Library - isn’t it amazing?! Chris Anselmo gave the best rec ever with that one. Truly, thank you for the support - it helps me keep putting stuff out there, even when I’m not sure how it will land! 🙏 gives me faith in the internet again, haha
My pleasure :) but to be fair, as I mentioned to you too, I stumbled upon your newsletter (and subsequently through you Chris’s and Maddie’s), your recommendation for Midnight Library, at a time i myself needed it, so for that i also thank you 😉 and oh yeah, can’t say enough about that book, Thanks Chris hehe. Loved The Comfort Book as well as Matt Haig’s more recent book, Life Impossible. Have you read that? It doesn’t speak to me as deeply as Midnight Library, but that could also be cause Midnight Library helped me heal, at a time I most needed it, so maybe there’s that too hehe
Haha i get ya, look the internet is a scary place. What y’all do, by putting yourself out there, is quite brave in itself, so always remind yourself that, even if the outcome may not be what you want, as long as the process was the right one, you have nothing to be scared of! Maybe one day I’ll get off ass and join you fine folks and put something creatively out there…
Wishing you the best, Anna! I'll read anything you write on any topic. Your point of view is much needed.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you as ALWAYS for your support 🙏
