This is the last of my "catch-up" newsletters for paid readers (this week's freebie next!).
I'm posting it here, though, because the first part is free-to-read and addresses a sense of despair I suspect a lot of fellow creators are feeling right now, while trying to sustain enough cognitive dissonance amid the terrible state of the world to keep believing in the value of our creative work.
It's okay if that myth is difficult to sustain right now.
It is not your fault.

Grateful to have company in the madness of it all. Thank you for keeping calm as best you can, too. 🤗
@MLClark Yep. I can relate. Keep calm and keep it simple. 👍
