The Mossletter 1
Hey friends! Long time no see … (and it will probably be even longer until I see you all in person again, womp womp …) So why am I rebooting my little e-newsletter? (Because I’m trapped indoors like you are, silly!) Okay, that’s part of the reason, but I’ve been meaning to get this going again anyway, because …
Sharing.
Yeah, that’s right. I may not have a ton to say in these newsletters (I’ll certainly share the occasional info about creative projects I’m working on), but you know what? Who cares.
Let’s put some good stuff out into the world.
I’m reading more, I’m trying to learn more about the world every day, and as I come across cool stuff — I figure I might as well share it with you too!
These emails will be a collection of quotes I’m diggin’, articles I’m inspired by, the random instagram pic or nerdy app recommendation, etc. I fancy I’ll be sending this out every couple of weeks (I’m also trying to be more consistent), and if that’s not your bag — please hit “unsubscribe” down towards the bottom (I won’t be offended, pinky-promise!)
So kick yer shoes off, set a spell — and wash your hands like the Dickens (I mean that literally — wash your hands like Charles Dickens did, you know, like, pretend it’s the only thing keeping you alive …)
