Was this newsletter forwarded to you? Subscribe! Happy Friday, A-Mailers! Unusually for me, last week was hectic. I left my small town and travelled to London not once but – three whole times! These great voyages led to the inevitable: people asking me, “So, what are you working on?” A question that makes me deeply uncomfortable because it taps into some major insecurities. So I want to talk about it. This week’s Relevant to Your Interests is all about a career condurum that continues to confuse me: how can I love my work but hate talking about it? In it, I unpack my discomfort in discussing ongoing projects, plus tips and recommendations for being less touchy about talking about work. Including but limited to: the case for living in sync with your cycle, a survival guide for writers in a capitalist dystopia and cultivating an antiwork ethos. If that sounds helpful, keep reading.
