But forget all that. The most important thing you can do for yourself and for me right now is to subscribe to my personal, ultra-top-secret newsletter. We have my Medium content (so you'll never miss any) and extra, backstage content. We have fun. We write and help others write. We laugh, we don't cry much. We don't do politics or spammy stuff. We don't curse or swear. Sometimes we make faces. Sometimes people call me "Doofus." You can see the free book you will receive here. Go for it.
