Hello from out here on the Thames Delta. I know, I know, I said I was closing down until August 21. But as soon as I said that, a bunch of friction points all happened at once. I still say that Buttondown is a great place to start your newsletter, especially if you have a comfort level with Markdown and hand-coding and really only need a minimal system. I don't have that comfort level, and it turns out I really need a no-code system.

Okay, so, the plan is to return on August 21, which gives me time to write a proper template for these letters and get my immediate work done. I should be finishing the last drafts on WRITTLE at about the same time as the contracts close, and there are some other things I need to get into, so maintaining this period of quiet time seems wise.

I hope you're enjoying your summer - unless you're in the other hemisphere, in which case I hope winter isn't being too taxing. See you in a couple of weeks.
