Quieter, But Not Stopped
Writing a book, revisiting old pieces, and staying in the thread
I’m going to be a little quieter here for the next month.
More like a shift in where the energy is going.
bref.
I’m focusing on finishing a book this month, so new posts will be lighter. In the meantime, I’ll be revisiting and refining older pieces & resharing the ones some of my favorites, maybe just a little more clearly this time. And then there’s a really sentimental song, but it’s really good.

Retro-Fit
I’m deep in the last stretch of a book project right now, which requires a different kind of attention. So things might feel a little quieter on the surface for the next month, especially after my 30 posts last month.
I’ve been rereading some of the older posts, and a few of them feel unfinished in a way I didn’t catch at the time. Not wrong, just not fully landed.
So over the next few weeks, I’ll be reworking those. Light edits, occasional rewrites. This I can do.
If you’re newer here, it’s a good moment to wander through the back catalog. If you’ve been around a while, you might notice where things have shifted.
If something you’ve read here stuck with you—longer than you expected, or in a way you didn’t quite understand at the time—I’d be curious to hear that.
I would love to hear from you! I’ve always got time for comments and I really look forward to them.

Where most things will show up—
If you want to see what I’m reworking in real time, check the Notes tab on Substack. That’s where I’ll be posting as I go—short updates, links to older pieces, making edits or adding lines that didn’t make it the first time.
If you’re in the app, you’ll see it in your feed. Otherwise, it’s just the Notes section on the publication page.
I won’t email every update, so that’s the easiest way to follow along without waiting for a full post.
