Glad to be on this journey with you! I subscribed before I read the thing about nit choosing the yearly subscription, but never mind - just consider it some kofis I finally bought you! :) You deserve them!

Other than that: Sandra Hüller is stunning, isn't she? Have yet to watch the movies you mentioned.

Thank you very, very much indeed. And yes, she's one of the most talented actresses of our time, I think.

As a lifelong writer myself, I would very much like to follow your journey! I’ve subscribed as a way of saying, “Yes, this matters - for me and for you.” One of my favorite things about your perfume reviews is how thoughtful, intelligent, and “literary” they are. I recognized right away that you are a fellow lover of language! I too have a day job (grant writing for a nonprofit youth shelter) that sometimes makes it difficult to do my own writing (fiction of the literary variety 😆 and a large nonfiction project that has grown out of family experiences but with much larger implications). So, I’ll sum up by saying, “I see you, fellow creative spirit, and want to support you as I support other writers I meet. No pressure, but know that there are people out here cheering you on!!

This means so much to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! But for the missing quotation mark there will have to be some penance...

And that missed end quotation mark may just give me nightmares. No perfectionism in me! Not at all. 🥹
