Well this was a delight. Mostly because I really wasn’t thinking anything at all about where your email was. But I HAVE wondered all the things you wondered at some point about other people wondering about my own writing so the dialogue was massively relatable. Also your segments are golden. Super love it. And you know I love a theme.

It’s amazing the dialogue we manage to come up with in our heads in which people are soooo disappointed with us 😂 Thanks for reading, Rachel. As you know, your writing is among my favorite to read, so I’m honored when you’re delighted by mine.

This was such a delight to read!

I think I’m going to be mulling over seeing past the cracks in my head for a while.

Also, I second that Charmed writing workshop recommendation! It was SO GOOD.

I immediately found your substack and subscribed. Love the name of it! Here’s to less overthinking in 2023 🥂😂
