Welcome to Cristian's Commonplace! 🤘

Can you help me? See, I have a problem. I'm a writer who rarely writes (and when I do, shares my writing) outside of work. So, after years of procrastination, it was time for me to come up with a solution. Either start writing or remove "writer" from all my bios and leave the dream to gather dust on the shelf.

Cristian's Commonplace is my attempt at a solution. The idea's simple: I need to write more, and what can hold me more accountable than a newsletter that I send to you? This newsletter isn't a silver bullet for my problem—nothing ever is. But it's a step in the right direction. And I'm glad you're joining me for the journey.

This newsletter, while helping me write more and share what I'm working on, will hopefully become a destination for you to get a snapshot of what's happening in culture, entertainment, and storytelling through my lens.

Let's face it: There's so much noise.

My goal is to help sift through some of it for you through personal essays and articles, along with updates on my own storytelling trajectory. Because, as you may know, I read, listen to, and watch a lot of media and art. That's why I thought a digital "commonplace" would be a perfect framework for a newsletter.

What is a commonplace book?

Here's what to expect from Cristian's Commonplace:

• Occasional emails containing reviews and musings on the films, music, books, and other media and art that I'm currently consuming.
• Access to and updates on my writing and other content I'm producing.
• Random rants and ramblings, too! 😜

​

In a world of paid newsletters, Cristian's Commonplace is free.
