We ought to be more epistolary with one another, perhaps.
For all the time I spend writing to you through this newsletter, I’m not much of a letter-writer (much less a news-writer, God forbid). A Stylist Submits is the digital space where I can be an essayist and poet for your reading, and so I usually set person-to-person correspondence elsewhere. Email exchanges are enjoyable. Physical letters are the best of long-form relationships over any distance, especially for those of us who savor relational memory.
But for y’all who support the writing I do here and elsewhere, thank-you’s and small-n news are in order. 2023 will end with the first breath of 2024 later tonight. I’d like y’all to know what you have each helped me do with this year that is now so nearly the past.
