Why is Glennon excited about writing again?
Okay, so something cool has been happening in my life that I have been doing, which Abby knows because she's been watching. I have, for the first time in five years, been setting my little alarm at night to get up very early and write. I have been writing again. And it has been a treat for me. Okay? Me too. And then here's what I've been doing with my writing each day.
I've been doing the same thing that I did during my early blogging days, where I avoided perfectionism by saying, I'm just going to write for an hour and a half or an hour, and then I'm going to scent. Press scent. And that kept me from perfectionism, which is why all the rest of my career unfolded. Okay.
What I've been doing with these little writings is I've been sending them in a newsletter to all the love bugs who are registered for my newsletter. Okay. I don't know what the hell is going to happen. All I know is it's great fun so far. It reminds me of my early writing days. It's just us. It's just me writing. I avoided newsletters for so long because I don't like newsletters.
I always feel like When I get one that feels overwhelming, it feels like it's mostly just like a report of everything the person has been accomplishing in the world, which feels like, why is this for me? This feels like it's for you. Like, should I write back and say, congratulations? Like, I don't know.
Anyway, I just decided I wanted, if I was going to do a newsletter, I wanted it to be different. I want it to just be a little treat, like a little treat for me to write, a little treat for whoever's opening it to like, Give them a little joy for the day. So it's called A Little Treat. I'm loving it. I just sent my first one out last week. I think people are really liking it.
And obviously, if you want to register for the newsletter, you have to give me your email address. Obviously, I will never do anything shady with your email addresses, okay? I wouldn't know how, but even if I could, I would never. I will protect your email addresses with my life.
If you want my little treat newsletter, which will not be a list of my accomplishments, it will just be a helpful little story. Go to glennandoyle.com. You'll see a signup box in the top middle of the page where you can submit your email address and that's it. Okay.
And then if you're on Instagram, you can go to my page, click the link in bio, and you'll see sign up for newsletter as the second button. click that button and submit your email address. And then you'll get the little treat in your inbox. Yeah, exactly.
A little treat from me to you. Yeah. And also just for those listening, like you guys don't understand how much joy this is bringing Glennon. Every morning I walk upstairs to get my coffee and she's like, I did it. I wrote a thing. I did it. And she's doing it every single morning. And it's so fun for her and the joy that it is making and bringing to our family. It's been a full on real treat.
