"When I’ve tried writing bits throughout the week, hoping to lighten the load on send-day, I find none of what I wrote previously matters when I get to Tuesday. Delete. Delete. Delete. It’s all out of sync. Contrived. Every time."
I feel seen. I never manage to write my newsletter in advance either!
Very cool Simone! I’ve been looking for a way to chat to my parents in SA. They don’t get Facetime (are we looking into the camera?) and took a while to learn Whatsapp calls. This looks like a good way to include them in my day/week.
yes to Marco polo! not perfect, but great for the reasons you mention. it allows me to stay close to a dear friend from grade school now living in Germany; ) and yes, the authenticity is what shines through in your Letter ... a favorite newsletter for that reason; )
Simone! Great piece. I didn’t know about Marco Polo; it looks interesting, I’ll definitely experiment with it. Thank you! And my warmest regards to Ashley, as I gather she’s also the Ashley I met in WOP 9. :)

Perfect solution, John. Definitely try it. It’s a game changer.

Already a Marco user. Savvy lady!
Love the Marco Polo channel. Reminds me of an old kids game, like tag, with same easily shouted name n
Yup, it’s like that game but without the kids :)
em--dash. Saving this edition.
I have a nice friend group on Marco Polo too ☺️
Of course you do!
