Ev BogueWhat is Evolving Your Digital Work?
Evolving Your Digital Work is a Letter from me to you, about the raw, unedited, important stuff that isn't ready for the public web yet. I've been writing it since December, 2010. When I write it, I ask myself: what's truly alive in you, Everett? Then I write from a place of openness (knowing that it's going out to a group of less than three hundred people.)
There's no archive, so the work moves through time with me. I untether from pieces the moment after they've been published. You're welcome to save them, if they resonate with you.
It's my intention to share what the Letter's about, not sell it to you. I can't explain exactly what it's about, because that changes through time. I do know that I write it at least once a week. I do know that the work trends towards lengthier, deeper, and more intimate posts than what I publish to the blog. The blog is an invitation to go deeper, this letter is the depth.
Evolving Your Digital Work isn't for everyone. It's for a small group of people who are deeply invested in the work that I'm doing. I give you a glimpse into the harder more intimate stuff, in exchange for your help supporting my work. If you're new to my work, don't subscribe right away. You're welcome to read through the blog, and sign up for free updates first.

From the readers
"Reading Evolving Your Digital Work has inspired me greatly. It's made me realize that the job I was sticking with for the paycheck was making me sick and I needed to untether from it. I'm now transitioning to a new half-time job with less stress so I can focus on the things that inspire me." -- A.S.
"Ev's willingness to work on the edge, capture his experience & share the keen insights from his personal evolution has ignited my own journey online into action. Money, failure, relationships, technology, letting go, power... he doesn't leave anything out. Evolving Your Digital Work is an invitation that shows up in my inbox as an opportunity to move forward in a mindful way." -- A.P.
"It's hard to find someone who walks their talk on the web. Most web workers do so part-time and offer platitudes instead of real life experience. With so many pretenders and wannabes out there, I've learned over the years to be skeptical about who will actually deliver.
Ev-always-delivers. Because Evolving Your Digital Work is based on the results and direct experiences in Ev's own work, it impacts and shapes mine. Because he doesn't sugar coat anything, there is no wasted surface-chatter; he delivers only what really matters. That alone is worth it for me." -- B.M.
"With constant personal evolution exposed in real time, comes a continuum of uncertainty. Times are uncertain, that much is clear. Ev leads you to the edge of your work. But leaping over? That's left up to you." -- N.Y.
"I had been searching for examples of people living simply and authentically to assist me in realizing my own lifestyle goals when I discovered Ev around Christmas 2010. I followed and read his free content for a while and seeing the value signed up for his paid letter 'Evolving Your Digital Work'. Since then his work has continually motivated me to reflect on and progress in my own lifestyle experiments, and even inspired me to start publishing and evolving my own digital work too!" -- D.F.
