Three high points
Things that make me happy: Creating consistently, collaborating with awesome people, and connecting with Fire Jar readers.
1/ Creating a lot.
![](https://www.thefirejar.com/content/images/2021/11/CatTyping-GIF.gif)
I've published 31,775 words here.
Hundreds of drawings, three podcasts, 35 videos, two mini-courses, ten retrospectives etc.

Most fell short.
Some even failed spectacularly!
But it still felt good to ship consistently.
I showed up every Monday, even when it was hard.
2/ Getting your email responses.

My main metric for the newsletter = number of quality replies it generates.
Did it spark a conversation?
If so, great success.

Also: It was fun to see your drawings.
What's next?
I plan to relax the weekly cadence.
Goal: Carve out space for more experiments. Try new things.
Explore themes in greater depth. Test out more interactive mini-courses: Simple sequences with daily prompts. Short multimedia invitations. Delivered by email.
A friend says:
In an opt-in world, where you devote your energy is a signal to others about what matters to you."
Thanks for opting in.
As always,
open to your suggestions.
