Congrats! 🙌 For those of us used to writing on deadline, it definitely takes some rewiring of your brain to let a piece sit before revision. I'm excited to listen later this week!

I agree. My problem is sometimes not knowing when to stop editing and move on. 🤓

Claire!! I love this newsletter. Everyone seems to rush the edits, even when we think we’re giving them time. You nailed the why we do that, at least why I do, cause I want to get to the finish line. But so often it takes me weeks, months sometimes, to really figure out what I’m trying to say. I am so proud of you and in awe of your final draft that we aired today. It’s gorgeous!
