Dear reader,
I’m Anna Fusco. Some people call me Sky. Some people call me Lordcowboy. I live in a trailer on California’s central coast. I love drawing and writing. I also love wearing hats and being alone.
I create things and share them with heavy regularity on Instagram @lordcowboy and in my online shop.
These love letters make frequent stops at topics like relationships, personal histories, living in community, creativity, self-actualization, and shadow integration.
Join me as I publicly learn to love myself while transforming three decades of internalized misogyny, daddy issues, and self-abandonment. More fun than it sounds. Real Modern Cowboy™, romance themes abound. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
The love that I bring to my writing doesn’t depend on whether I get paid for it or not. Contributions from my paid subscribers make up a huge portion of my income — money that would be difficult not to have — but the reason some of my letters live behind a paywall is to maintain a sense of privacy, even if I’m kidding myself.
There are three things I control here: the writing, the value I place on it, and when I decide to share it. I don’t make promises about my writing. I write at my own pace.
The paid tiers to Unsupervised are accessible. I’d love to set the monthly paid subscription to $3 a month, but unfortunately Substack has a $5 minimum. An upfront annual subscription is $40.
The founding membership plan is set at $100, which includes access to all of my letters, a free print or poster from my website every year valued at $60 USD or less (USA shipping only), and a $25 discount on a one-on-one creative coaching session with me.
I give myself permission to write one, two, or five letters a month.
I give myself permission to take complete breaks from Substack during December/January and July/August.
I give myself permission to trust that the readers who really see me are in it for the long haul. I’m in it for the long haul, too.
As Chris La Tray said, “I believe the people who value my writing also understand the concept that paying for something you value and can afford is a kind of mutual aid. The rewards come from the universe, not from anything additional you’ll get here.”
Thank you for coming, for coming and going. Thank you for staying.
