A newsletter about writing, art and living more creatively
Hi friend,
Notes from Eva hit 1,000 subscribers! I hope this newsletter has been useful, interesting, or just plain entertaining. Thanks so much to everyone who has opened these emails and shared them with friends.
As a thank you, I'd love to send a book from my shelves to the first 5 people who respond to this :)
Who remembers those surprise bags from Sanrio you'd buy for like a few bucks? It'll be like that, except you don't have to pay, obvi. A surprise book, just for you!
Most importantly, thank you, thank you. I hope you're taking care. I'm keeping this email short but will be back with more next month!
In my own work:
I wrote about flor de jamaica and nostalgia.
I visited and wrote about Stephanie H. Shih's current exhibition, "New World Mall."
Your favorite small but feisty writer,
Eva
