Welcome to the final week of the Slow Boring free trial period. I hope that you’ve been enjoying reading, I have been having a lot of fun writing. I’m also really excited to say that we are at over 5,000 paid members already, which is incredible — I’m so grateful to everyone who’s decided to support the site.
