Love the idea of a personal stand-up! I'm currently reading Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayd...I did my best to emulate her writing in this week's Substack post. She is a witty and BRILLIANT writer. Lots of inspo there, I highly recommend!

Also...how good is Matty M's voice in Greenlights? Sooooo soothing.

I'll have to give your piece a read! I was going for a Cheryl Strayed voice in my essay this week as well, she is one of my favorite writers but I've never read Tiny Beautiful Things.

Matty M's voice is AMAZING. It grips me yet soothes me at the same time.

It'll land in the inbox on Fri! I don't know how successful I was, as it's a sort of business/leadership article trying to infuse bits of her self deprecating wit - an interesting mix 😂

Tiny Beautiful Things is a column - a collection of essays in response to people writing ins with their problems. IMO it's her best writing, definitely check it out!

I'm reading Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart! I got the book in German so progress is slow, but I'm liking it :D
