Slow Season, Strong Library

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey, friends –
​
Most freelancers spend their quiet weeks catching up on admin or feeling guilty about the lighter calendar.
​
But it's worth asking: what's the piece in your own work that's been half finished for three months because there was never enough room to do it right?
​
Now, go pull up something you wrote a year or two ago. Is it still holding up, or has your thinking moved past it?
​
In today's issue of The Edit, I write about why these slow seasons are blessings in disguise and why you should leverage them for what they are.
​
​>> Read issue #5 of The Edit here <<​
​
Before you go, I'd like to share a snippet about this week's sponsor, Shlomo Genchin!
​
Shlomo just launched CopyTemplates – the most complete copywriting library I've come across in a few years: 64 techniques, 500+ examples, and 70+ AI prompts and Claude skills.
​
If you write ads, emails, or landing pages, it's a massive resource. And as an early gift to my subscribers, you can get lifetime access for $97 by clicking here.
​
Happy reading!
​
