- Every other Sunday I pour my heart & soul into a letter that goes out to my email list. 💌 And every other Sunday I get a handful of people who complain it’s too long. If you can’t spend 10 minutes with me every other week, I don’t have time for you, either. Stop writing in.
- Today is a milestone day!! 💌 My personal newsletter hit 20k subscribers! That’s modest by a lot of measures, but I’m grateful for every single person who invites me into their inbox every other Sunday morning. You are my Doris (Dorises? Dori?) 😍 THANK YOU! 🍻 🎉📬 #20kDorises
- Just had someone unsub from my newsletter because she said it was 1) too long, 2) she didn't like my photo in Sunday's issue. Long? OK. But this is literally the 1st time I used my face as the header image. But my god it was with TINA. FEY. #notsorry #notmydoris #CMWorld #bye
- Someone just unsubbed from my personal newsletter this morning because I “bragged” about “violating quarantine.” I “violated” quarantine by letting my dying dog’s best friend into my house to say goodbye to her; to give Abby one last moment of joy. If that’s “bragging,” so be it.
- I got this in my inbox this morning, in response to my last newsletter: "I clicked on your newsletter to unsubscribe because I'm trying to simplify my inbox. Then I started reading... and changed my mind. I'm staying." New email metric, maybe? CTUNM = Click-To-Unsub-Never-Mind 😆
- Why is it that I read a blog post draft 37 times and never see the 4 glaring, obvious typos until I hit PUBLISH? Just me?
- Dear Twitter: "Can we get more characters?" Twitter Dev: "SURE! HERE!" Dear Twitter: "Can we get rid of hate speech?" Twitter Dev: "On it." Dear Twitter: "New layout?" Twitter Dev: "Done!" Dear Twitter: "Edit button..?" Twitter Dev: <maniacal laughter> "HA! NO! NEVER!"
- What an epic week in Cleveland! 1. @CMIContent Hall of Fame Award! 2. Met Tina Fey! 👯♀️ 3. Homecoming with so many old friends. 4. Made so many new friends. I’m exhausted. My heart is full. Love you #CMWorld!!! Thank you for everything you generously gave me. My face rn:
- I’m inside this right now rn en route to Cleveland because where else can I wear an orange bomber even if it is 80 degrees? See you soon #CMWorld!!! 🍊❤️
- I am legit furious about this. Please RT and help me make some noise. At my wit's end, TBH.
- Such a fun surprise today to be quoted in @nytimes! 😍Massive thanks to @AaronOrendorff for including me and CONGRATS to you, Aaron, on the publication! Here's the piece: Your Colleagues Don't Read Anything You Write. Here Are 8 Ways to Change That -->
