🚌 I’m living in an RV now. That’s probably the biggest change. I also should say we’re living in an RV – it’s my fiancé and I… plus our dog Goose… plus our two cats Phineas and Sylvia. It’s a full house.
I haven’t done much of anything when it comes to ‘productivity’ lately. I’ve completely stepped away from any “business development” for the time being. I’ve spent a fraction of my time sitting at a laptop. I haven’t written a single thing outside of my personal journals in the past two and a half months – which the logical part of my brain gawks at, knowing I would love to have more writing from this period of my life… but the more embodied part of myself knows that I’ve needed to step away in order to return to my writing and work more fully (or some shit like that).
I’m going to write a more in-depth post about how this RV, nomad thing has been for me. But a few of the major ‘things ‘benefits’ this experience has given me, at least so far:
It’s slowed me the fuck down.
I think there’s something about being out “in nature,” as opposed to the city-living I’ve been doing, that has slowed me the fuck down. It’s grounding. Though a large part of my brain is stuck in “productivity” mode, constantly ruminating about what I should do – the backlog of ‘future ideas’ and possibilities I’ve considered. It gives me this feeling of behind-ness, a feeling that’s ruled my life for a long time. But the more time I spend out here, the less I hear the voice of this behind-ness — nature is starting to win.
“In nature, nothing rushes. Yet, everything gets done.”
It’s helped me reconnect with very basic parts of existence.
I’m simply more in touch with how my electric works, how my stove gets gas, and all these little things – which are very basic comforts we take for granted in this modern world – that I never had to think about for a second while living in apartments. And then there’s the sewage, which I have to dump every 5 days or so… maybe I’m not grateful for that specifically, but there’s something to just being more connected to these sorts of things that I truly am grateful.

The RV thing has been hard, in a lot of ways. But it’s honestly the most worthwhile thing I’ve done in my life. So yeah… that’s the main update. Though I do have some other stuff:
🤝 I’m trying to work through partnership agreements rather than simply taking on Freelance Copywriting gigs (though that’s still the majority of my income). But I’d rather work directly with really cool people building cool shit, and help them in a more comprehensive way, than just being a cog in a machine.
A few reasons for this:
— I think, with AI, this is the direction things are moving. I think of myself as more of a Content Architect / Distributor than a writer at this point. Yes, I write, and that writing is the backbone of everything else I do. But I don’t want to simply be a writer. I want to make an impact on the brands I work with at a deeper level.
— I’m tired of doing meaningless work. And maybe not completely meaningless. But there have been so many times in my career where I’ve been paid to do some copywriting work that I know, deep down in my heart, is either completely worthless or at least could be 10x more effective if handled slightly differently.
So as of right now, I have established partnerships – in a sort of Creative Director role – for the following brands:
