I don't know how I found you on twitter a decade ago but I did and then I heard about this newsletter and subscribing was a no-brainer like if someone offers me donuts I'm literally eating one before I've even made up my mind. (Also, saying "yes," with chocolate donut breah is more satisfying anyway).
And now, to think I will be able to find EVEN MORE of your writing out there as you start freelancin' is making me giddy. Like when I read your movies reviews on Letterboxd. My giddy gets up, and I'm not horsing around when I say that. (Yes I am but you know what I mean).
So what I'm sayin' is I'm sayin' "hurray!" that you're making this move, and I this is great news, and now it's time to go argue with my wife so she'll let me get a paid subscription. She's a pretty good fighter, though, so I'll need to bring my A-F game. (Get it?) I'm going to go re-read your Godzilla reviews to get warmed up. Not that my wife is a kaiju or anything. But she DID (this is literally true) go to highschool with the lead guitarist for Daikaiju, a surf-instro band. Just sayin'.
This is uncanny. It’s a mirror image of my situation, except I’m not in my 30s, I’m 52. My mum died last year, I’ve just been laid off as a copywriter and I’m amazed to read this because it’s like a message from the universe. Thank you for articulating it so well. One more thing: You are far too good at writing to be a copywriter. I hope you find lots of rich benefactors (including Billy Zane) ❤️
Oh my god that is bonkers! Well that in turn is a message from the universe to ME as well, thank you for sharing. Sending you love!!! Also thank you so much 🥺
