🔥GREATEST HITS

Rough index of newsletter favorites

I put this index together pretty quickly, because it’s a Kiddos Weekend.

When I take my mental attention so far away as to enable something more than just hammering out some quick thoughts with typos, like reviewing posts and compiling an index, one of my kids pees on the floor unmetaphorically.

First, a review of the rules of this newsletter:

Intro to the newsletter

And the most relevant portion from that post:

I’m going to send
a thing,
daily 
with words in it,
in the Morning-ish,
for a while

You can feel free to tell me how much you enjoyed it as regularly as you see fit! This helps me maintain the idea that one of my favorite writers, Jonathon Franzen, describes as one of his rules for writing. It’s one I believe in.

The reader is a friend, not an adversary, not a spectator.

So, if you're my adversary, and if you're not my friend, than this isn't for you, and it never was. 

Then some rough segmentation by topic of a few posts I like or others have liked, listed mostly chronologically within topics:
