Hi Writer,
This email is brought you entirely from my iPhone. No, this isn’t an Apple ad. It’s the FML of my week. My computer is getting repaired this week, so I’m working using my iPhone. It’s not great.
But there’s a lesson here. We’re capable of accomplishing more than we think. A freelance writer without a computer is as useful as decaf coffee. Yet, I wrote a lot and got newsletters out the door as planned.
So, whenever life takes your computer, make lemonade. Or something like that.
Thanks for reading,
Nick
P.S. I got my laptop back late yesterday. This was me before I did. 👇
Could you do me a favor and share this email with others? Thank you!
