talk to me · the slow correspondence
Tuesday afternoon. Around four. The light is going warm.
I read mail on Tuesday afternoons, usually. Sien is asleep at my feet, the coffee is going cold, and I'm trying to do this slowly. If something on this site named what you've been feeling, write me. Don't worry about formatting. Don't pitch. Tell me like you'd tell a friend on a long phone call.
Three sentences is enough.
If you want a starting point, pick one of the doors below. Each one opens your mail with a few short prompts already in the body. Answer them however you want, or delete them and write your own. The prompts are just there so the page isn't a blank stare.
three doors. each opens your mail.
- i. I have an idea I can't see whole. → Three prompts in the body: the idea, why it's stuck, what done looks like in plain words.
- ii. I'm drowning in admin. → Three prompts in the body: what eats your time, what you'd be doing instead, how long this has been going on.
- iii. I just want to say hi. → Empty body. Write whatever. Includes the dog photo, if you have one.
Or, if no door fits: write me directly at hello@casey.berlin. Either way, I'll see it.
Or, if you're not ready to write yet, you can read for a while →
a small honesty about timing
If you write today, you'll usually hear back the following week. I batch correspondence on purpose. The slow rhythm is part of how I keep the work good.
