"My path will be my own...because it has to be." Love this, Charlie! It's a resolution I'm holding too as well.

Crossing my fingers for you!

*eagerly subscribes to Modern Love*

This is relatable. I also love writing and hate marketing. It was only compounded when I realized that my audience basically loses and gains followers at the same rate, except for three times when it was featured somewhere else and tripled! I eagerly await seeing how this works for you. Also pulling for you to get into the NYT.

Yes, Charlie! Love that you got that feedback loop already. And very cool to have your work featured somewhere else, regardless.

...I hope you enjoy Modern Love!
