My friends, my family, my loves, I need your help here! Been hearing through the pipeline that having this newsletter be Daily is causing some, for lack of a better word, exhaustion in lots of you. I have been hearing that having it come in literally every day is causing backlogs in the email, and a general feeling of overwhelmingness (not a word), and often even guilt when you miss a few issues. So my question is this, and I need some serious feedback. Do you think this would be better suited for weekly delivery rather than daily? There are some changes coming soon, some changes I’m getting really excited for, but I need some serious feedback first. Would you prefer this once a week? I could write a bit longer format for that post, and get very creative with it. I’ll still be offering (and updating) the extras for all of you wonderful folk that are part of the paid subscription plan (and to you, thank you times a billion, I’m always open for feedback on how to make your subscription even better too!), so Paid Subscribers will get a few more each week with the extras.
So…sound off quite simply (or if you wish you can write more to explain, whatever) with a simple: DAILY or WEEKLY in the thread below. I’ll just do the tallys visually :)
This is tough. There are very few people I would actually want daily emails from, but you have always been someone I am thrilled to see in my inbox daily. If I'm being honest, I do get behind sometimes and let them pile up. But I always enjoy going back and reading through every one. So if you continue daily, I would be perfectly happy with that.
That being said, weekly seems like not enough! Maybe a few times a week? If you reduce the frequency?
On another note...I always anticipate the Weekly Wednesday Writing Prompts. So I want to make a hard argument for keeping those. Which means at minimum you have to send bi-weekly emails. (Writing Wednesday + one regular message)
Sorry this was a bit long-winded! Looking forward to whatever you have in store.
What Taylor said....thrice weekly including writing Wednesdays would be fantastic! (I also get backlogged, but I make a point to catch up a few times each week)
I enjoy daily. I understand the backlog but if I don't have the time, I skip it and save it for when I do. I just created a folder and put it there so it doesn't take up space in my "Inbox". I try not to take it too seriously, either. If I miss reading some over the time, I'll live :)
I would vote for weekly. I don't get to it every day so find they accumulate and then I find I have guilt if I delete them without reading because I know you work hard! Love being part of this. :)
Weekly or a couple times a week would be great! Love reading your words and the attached song and do feel stressed a bit with the amount of them getting backed up at times. You are amazing and so appreciate the time and offerings you provide. Thank you!
Weekly! I end up not giving “the daily” the thought and time it deserves. So it goes into a file for a later time. You’re also an incredibly talented photographer. A weekly post of perhaps a dozen photographs would be welcome. Then it is strictly a visual treat. Lastly, I’m not subscribed to Spotify, so can’t listen to the music posts without doing other logistics.
Weekly. Ask yourself Too how you feel do you think more time and like you said writing a bit more info would give you more time to put something together and create less stress or a rush feeling? As an artist more time has always created better work and focus as well as quality. Overall weekly could be a lot better on you too!
Daily! I would suggest maybe slightly synthesizing your daily content (based upon the feedback received) and also, moving your key photo/haiku at the top (or middle) of the e-mail. Rearrange the formatting a bit so there is less to sift through. In addition, for balance, you could dedicate one day each week (i.e., the Sunday Edition), to/for a more elaborate post. I love your work btw, you rock. :)
I find that I read the Instagram one everyday so I don’t always open my email . So in an attempt to clean out emails I usually just erase them if I get behind . So weekly is great .
I will just second what Gabriela said because it is exactly where my mind was...
(Although it is fun going back to daily’s that I missed and thinking about how it would have applied to that moment in my life - hooray for us weirdos!)
weekly :)
Even if it could be every other day or set days of the week that would cool.
Weekly would be perfect! 🖤
Weekly, but 2-3 times a week would also be cool. :)
Daily!! We need this to clear our head of the buzz we endure constantly!
Weekly would be great! 🖤
Weekly. I don't mind the daily, but I don't read them every day, I'll read through several days' newsletters at a time.
A longer, creative weekly post would be better!
Weekly would be great, thank you for being so wonderful! ♥️
Weekly! Just before receiving this email i almost hit that unsubscribe, it's just too much
Weekly works for me! I love reading them!!! ❤️
Weekly would be lovely!
I'm okay with daily.
Either a few times a week, or weekly. ♥️

Yes , agree, def keep the writing prompt day!
Agree!
I like this idea too. A few times a week for those of us who love reading all of them and it’s a lower frequency for those who are overwhelmed. ❤️❤️
I agree with Taylor!

Weekly sounds great to me! I read them daily but think I would absorb them more if they are weekly. Thank you for being great!

Daily or every 2-3 days
Hi! Yes, weekly would feel better. Thank you for asking. :)
Weekly, or maybe twice a week
Weekly is fine! :D I forget to check email daily.
Weekly would be great!
Weekly
Weekly would be great!
Split the difference: 3 or so a week would be great!

I love hearing from you daily!
I love daily but a few times a week would be fine too.
Weekly! (Twice at most! Mondays and fridays?)

Weekly 💜
Weekly <3
2-3 week would be great! Or weekly!
I suggest twice a week. This would create the anticipation of receiving and maintain regular contact. :)
Would love to see it more than just weekly - maybe 2 - 3 days a week?

Daily, please <3
weekly or 2-3 times a week
Daily please!Your emails rock. If it’s easier for you to send them every other day it’s up to you. Keep up the great work.
I'm for weekly or a couple of times a week - but keep The Worry Knot and the writng prompt!
I will just second what Gabriela said because it is exactly where my mind was...

Hey G! Hope you are well!!!
Thanks, Adam!! Hope you are well, too - sending a huge hug your way!
Hug received with a smile...
and sending one right back 🤗
Yay! ❤
Daily please! But if it’s easier for you to send every other day I’m cool with that too. Much love xx
Oh definitely more than once a week please
Weekly
Or three x a week
Every other day! Or a few days a week. Thanks for all you do!
weekly. Or even 2-3 days per week would be nice.
