The Angry Update: April 2024

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

April 22, 2024

This is a rough one…

Not only have I failed to deliver timely content again, but I’ve also been a complete ghost. I haven’t posted anything. I just vanished.

All I can say is that I’m sorry.

That said, I’m going to make this quick.

First, I am working on content. As has become my habit, I have several Features coming in the next week-and-a-bit to ensure I deliver Features for the month. That isn’t a good habit for me to fall back into, but it’s what I have to do at this point.

Expect True Campaign Managery lessons on Session Zero and general Meeting Hosting Practices before April 30. And something else in there that, once again, won’t be the Angry Hack.

Meanwhile… it has been a while since I reached out to my community and you all deserve a frank and honest status report and a realistic recovery plan. So, I am going to host a Live Chat on Wednesday, April 24 at 8:00 PM EDT. I’ll go over what’s been going on and, most importantly, the active steps I’m taking to correct the issue. I know I’m failing all of you and I know I’m failing myself. Admitting that is the first step. The second step is taking active steps to correct it.

I intend to make the Live Chat recording available to all of my readers, not just the supporters. So anyone who isn’t supporting me but still wants to know “What the hell, Angry?” can listen to that. The rest of you can just read a bunch of Features over the next nine days.

And that’s it. I’ll cover this shit in more detail on Wednesday, but I will also make sure there’s some fun and positive stuff to talk about on Wednesday so it isn’t all just “Why I suck… poor me…” or whatever. Which it won’t be. Because that’s not healthy. Healthy is saying, “I’m struggling and I’m screwing up and here’s what I can do about it.” So please skip all the comments chastising me for badmouthing myself. They don’t help as much as you think they do.

Thanks. See you all Wednesday.

    • That’s all fine. It’s just certain very well-intentioned folks keep offering advice instead of just encouragement and it often backfires. It’s usually not advice that works for me and my situation. And, unfortunately, at times of mental struggle, it is difficult to read invalidating advice and not get piqued.

  1. I know you’ve been struggling for a while with this, Angry, but I’m always just happy to see you’ve posted. Don’t beat yourself up- I’ve been there and I’d still be reading if you posted 0 times a month or 100 times a month.

  2. I’ve been very happy with the articles that we’ve gotten. I’m looking forward to the ones you’ve announced. Can’t wait for the live chat
