Hi Amy! I just found your newsletter after reading your comment on L.M. Sacasas' post, and I am loving it! This post, in particular, has helped me reframe some personal-professional stuff I've been wrestling with about publishing, money and readership. Thanks for that! Maybe what I need as a writer is not a book deal or 10K Twitter followers or even a stable income (gulp) but "one perfect reader." The hope of that most intimate connection is the heart of why I write, after all. Thanks for that important reminder :).

Great perspective, Amy — very thoughtful and thought-provoking.
Indeed, I think it *is* me. Loved this one.
Pretty cool this made the rounds two years later. Perhaps the promise of the internet isn't all false pretense.
What you are so capably describing Amy is letting go.
Love it. Keep going.
Amy, this was incredible. Thank you.
