Your riso project sounds really exciting! Looking forward to seeing what you make! I loved that same Lizzie Stewart post, it’s an important and scary part of being a freelancer but doesn’t get talked about very much. Sending you all the positive vibes.

Hey Cat! A great newsletter as always! Congratulations on the book cover, it looks fantastic! Having always had a 9-5 monthly pay packet job for 20 years, the rollercoaster of being freelance is one scary ride! The freedom it gives is something I appreciate nearly every day, but when that last pay cheque is dwindling down to the last pennies with no new job in sight it’s truly scary. It feels like you are moving in the right direction though, and I’m keeping everything crossed for you and sending all the vibes! X

Hi Catherine! I learned about the bird song app last weekend through Emily Wilson, another artist/illustrator! (emilythewilson.substack.com/p/let-the-half-wit-out-for-a-walk) It's been a JOY running around our yard and identifying new birds. I think I've counted a dozen now. Who knew it could be so fun—I didn't! 🤩

Wishing you much success in upcoming endeavors and hoping the perfect opportunities open up for you.
