I am writing to comment on your 8 year old who is wanting to write a book. When our daughter who was also 8 at the time showered desire to write, I looked for places that were publishing children's original works. There were only one or two I could find. My husband I decided to start our own magazine of children's literature at my daughter's school, your old stomping grounds District 28 in Northbrook. We called it the Meadowbrook writer. We published 3-4 times a year. Every child in the school was able to be published at least once during the year. It is one of my greatest joys and memories.
I am catching up on reading newsletters and so happy I didn't skip this one. I feel the exact same about influencing myself by reading other reviews. I try to avoid them altogether until I've finished reading (sometimes I don't even read the summary of the book beforehand) because I'm so nervous I'm going to absorb someone else's opinion of it.
I also love how transparent you are with the newsletter's finances and where it's going—it makes the reading experience that much more enjoyable!
I’ve been reading NYTs The Morning religiously for a few years and until recently I had been gladly drinking it up as fact. Perhaps not so strange that my questioning can also be traced back to the very same article you reference regarding us liberals’ ongoing fear of COVID - fears that last well beyond the lingering effects of being boosted. More than just the feeling of “he ain’t talkin’ ‘bout me”, I realized the man behind the curtain had no idea what he was on about. I have since pivoted to letting The Morning Brew reflect my feelings back to me every day over coffee. Great article :)

Glad you had a nice vacation!
