me sending out this silly little email

*taps microphone* Uh, hello.

So in the past couple of weeks, I’ve gotten a handful of subscription renewal notifications and was mortified to realize some of you are throwing money at me for…what, exactly? Think of it as a sort of modern day patronage*, I guess, because it’s certainly not for this!!! Here is me acknowledging that it’s been crickets around here and even though it’s not exactly like people are beating down my door for a new little email, I feel bad! Let me explain:

I am in the last months of writing the first draft of my book, which is hard, actually! Who knew! It is now well past the 100,000 word mark despite still needing the last two and a half chapters and a preface and afterward. Oops! But really, what would an Elaine May book be if not too long and chaotic as hell! My brain is hanging on by a thread. My sanity? Right there along with it. My tan? Non-existent. I cannot remember what it is like to have a fun carefree summer outdoo…
