Hi AMO! I've been reading your newsletter since whenever you were doing your memoir writing class on here (Lauren Sapala recommended you way back when). I feel kind of like a baby version of you. I had a band in high school and worked a soundboard for concerts for a few years. And the only thing I ever wanted to go to college for was to be a librarian (but I hate school so that won't be my future). Now I'm just focused on my main dream of writing books.
I'm only 29 but I also have a love for analog. I've tried making my own zettelkasten for years, but could never figure out an organizational process that worked best for me. So currently it's just a mess of note cards everywhere like you but also in the notes app on my phone. Maybe I'll try the dewey decimal system too! I'm so happy you found a system that works for you!
I love your newsletter and writing style and I'm always excited to get your emails and I'm excited for you to write your new book!!
Hi Ally! Thank you so much for the kind words and for reaching out. I send my work out into the void and I never know how it's landing with people. I love that we have so much in common, including the note-card factor! Even with the zettelkasten - the notecards are still everywhere, ha-ha. I remember that Lauren referred you awhile back - hope the writing is going well for you. Let me know what you're working on, and let's stay in touch! Thanks again, xo AMO
