“Brown Town”
|
Hey Reader, It’s a typical summer day in our Sag Harbor kitchen. I’m typing at the counter while my laptop charges so I can bring it back outside — and being rude to my husband, but you might say he’s being rude to me. He wants me to participate, even though he knows I’m focused, writing you an email. There he goes. “Brown Town! Stop being a clown! Brown Town, you’re totally brown. Hey hun, you like my song?” “Mmm-hmm.” “What is it? What are the lyrics?” “Brown Town, flushin’ it down? I don’t know. I can’t, I’m writing an email.” To which he says, “You’re no fun. I might as well not exist.” “Mmm-hmm.” I remind him, “Bee-tee-dubs, emails make us money.” And then he leaves me alone. Sort of. He’s now whispering “Brown Town” to himself. As he reaches for a vase, he grunts, “Uhhhhhh! Brown Town.” Now, he’s calling me “BT” and asking if I want to try our new olive oil on some fresh bread. “In a sec.” If I were putting away laundry, I’d leave the socks for dead and beeline to the kitchen for that olive oil action. When I’m writing an email, though, I’m in the zone. You might say I’m in the P’zone. Not really, that was a Pizza Hut offering of pizza-calzone hybrid. I have no earthly needs beyond my all-day Yeti tumbler of Grady’s cold brew. Point is, writing emails absorbs my full attention. It also makes us money.

Last fall, I got a subscriber email from my friend (and Shrimp Club alum) Frenchie Ferenczi. Subject line: I’ve gone woo(ish). She wrote about a spiritual teacher who was helping her connect to her intuition and let it guide her business. She had me at woo(ish). That’s me — or was. I even coined a term for it years ago: “Woo-Adjacent.” Wrote a manifesto and everything. In a nutshell, I think most of the spiritual industry reeks of bullshit, but I do love a good psychic or astrology reading....

Hey! Just so you don’t think I’m trash-talking my friend Suzanne, she’d admit this herself: Her email game used to kind of…suck. First of all, because she barely wrote any. She had a dormant list of thousands of writers, and they almost never heard from her. Ugh, I can’t. Do you know how much it hurts me to see a wasted email list? It’s like watching someone let their sundae melt. Give it to me, then! (Except you can’t give someone your email list — illegal.) Suzanne had always counted on...
