Hey y’all,

A little something different this week: I’m taking down the paywall for a bunch of my favorite Tuesday letters so anyone can read them. Feel free to share these far and wide! (Big thanks to paid subscribers for affording me this space to play in.)

1. The magic of the brush pen. (And how I make my CMYK pens.)
   
   

2. How to make a map of your mind.
   
   

3. The simple pleasures of date stamps.
   
   

4. For giving thanks next week: my gratitude zine! (I added a simplified Thanksgiving zine at the bottom for kiddos.)
   
   

5. Meg’s pizza recipe.
   
   

6. On falling in love with my bicycle.
   
   

7. A simple tool that works: the daily challenge.
   
   

8. For easy filling of the page: one-page diary exercises.
   
   

9. A dozen books worth reading.
   
   

10. Tips for a better life with books: How to read like an artist.
    

Thanks for reading. This newsletter is a reader-supported publication. The best way to support it is to buy my books, hire me to speak, shop for some of my favorite gear (I get a cut), or become a paid subscriber:

Austin

PS. This is what I did yesterday. (I’ll tell you all about the trip next week.)
