So, my dear friends, new followers, lovely human beings, a brief question: I do not wish to bombard your email box and feel spammy, BUT, I want you to have access to the work I’m creating, so, do you think if I sent you all the Daily Haiku on Life with photograph each day, and then on the days I also have a Typewriter Series poem send that as a second email, or would you prefer on those days I wait and send them both in one email? Discuss…
Two are fine with me. I have the option to read them when the timing is right for me. And who knows when you’ll just happen to write the exact words we need to hear in that moment.
I'd be fine with two but do agree it's easier to get lost. Your emails end up going to my promotions (gmail) box along with emails from DSW, Groupon and Joe Biden...so it's easier to get lost in that. I wonder if, as a subscriber, using this means via substack allows emails to be filtered to my primary inbox? Not sure. TL, DR; if there's any way on your end to have these emails not classed as promotional, feels like a better chance of being seen.
One email would cut down the clutter. And it wouldn’t bother me if that day, the email comes at a different time than usual - I usually check my email in the morning then again about 12-2, so sometimes it’s nice to have a little variation of when stuff comes in.
First of all, any TKG or CotL emails in my inbox would be a welcome surprise, since lately I find myself muttering 'oh, crap' when I open the majority of my emails. (I'm a delight.)
I think sending one email, with perhaps a tweaked subject line (i.e., Haiku + Typewriter) on the days where there's a poem involved, would be the most efficient and easiest for you.
Emails would be great for those of us trying to stay away from social media....you know, those of us who, while pacifists, are the only non-Trump voting member of our immediate and extended families, and sometimes find yourself daydreaming of throwing flaming bags of dog poo at certain yard signs. I've said too much.
PS- if there's a way you can do a Patreon-type email service (I'm not sure one exists), I think there'd be a lot of us interested. You give so much to fans of your work; I often feel guilty having so many of your poems saved on my phone.
Tyler, my preference is 1 email but no matter which method you choose, ultimately all that matters to me and I know I speak for so many others, is that we get to read and embrace your amazing, empowering work. True enLIGHTenment !!! Douglas Appleby
I think a single email would probably be the most practical, but I'm personally fine with either option. I check my email a few times a day regardless. :)
OK! So, it seems like it's kinda either or for almost all of you, so I think, maybe, for ease for me, I may do them separately going forward, that way you're not having to scroll through one MASSIVE email with everything on there. You get a breakfast, and a dinner, as it were...or a brunch and a dessert...or a whatever and a whatever, you get the point. It may be 2 emails that day, but they'll be separated, and it'll make it more fun. That work for everyone?
So happy you are doing this for us. Start with whatever works for you then adjust as needed. Meantime I will just reread your Typewriter poetry book, that sits on my tea table.
Both in one, I think :)
I think one email would be great!
One email would be fine with me, but either way
I wouldn't mind getting two, but I guess one email would leave inboxes less cluttered
One email would be great.
One email:)
Since I could use more positivity in my emails, I don’t mind 2 separate!
Both in one email would work!
I dont mind two emails!!
Maybe one email on the days when you also want to send a Typewriter Series poem!
One email would be great.
as long as they are time separated.....send it all!
I don’t mind either or ❤️
2 emails would be ok with me.
Also wouldn’t mind getting two but probably best to wrap them into one.
2 emails is fine with me
I could always use the extra happy mail, so two is great for me - but we will all be happy regardless!
Two for me.
One email is better, less clutter
one email sounds perfect!
I am just happy with either or.
Poetry and art, in any number of installments, is always a pleasure.
I think either would be fine - however one email would have less chances of getting lost. Personally. my inbox is especially cluttered these days.
I say one email would be best!
Either one would be fine! x
Either is good - whatever is easiest! :)
You can send me anything, any time!!

SEND EM!! I <3 your words!
I wouldn't mind either <3

1 email is preferable but really, whatever is easier for you in the long run. I’m just happy to be a part of this new venture!

I’d be down for two emails! Like most have said, it’s always lovely to get anything from y’all.

Either is fine with me. I simply look forward to reading your work. Thank you!
The light that you will bring to my email will be welcomed any time. Thank you!
Absolutely send two, it will break up the monotony of the spam emails, especially the dreaded political ones I’m getting right now!
I like the idea of separate emails - what a brilliant way to start and end the day - with your beautiful words :) Happily subscribed today!
In my opinion, the less emails the better. I would like to have all things TKG consolidated in one email :)
So happy you are doing this for us. Start with whatever works for you then adjust as needed. Meantime I will just reread your Typewriter poetry book, that sits on my tea table.
I'd love breakfast and dinner with you Tyler!
