Rage Writing, Spamuel, & Why Your Drafts Folder Has Abs
Right. So here we are.
This newsletter wasn’t planned.
It was summoned.
Born in a comment thread.
Fuelled by espresso, glitter-scented rage, and two readers who laughed so hard they:
Disrupted a live AI training
Collapsed during barre class
Spiritually peer-pressured me into creating this chaos factory
So thank (or blame) them.
What you’re reading now is Inbox Fit Club: a safe space for dangerous ideas, subject line CPR, and emails that read like cursed movie trailers.
There are no gentle reminders here.
Just creative threats, muscular metaphors, and Spamuel L. Flexson screaming “OPEN RATE = HEART RATE” from a BOSU ball.
Let’s get into it.
Why Rage Writing Is the Only Gym Your Copy Needs
Most writing advice sounds like it was focus grouped by a yoga cult and a room full of dried up PR interns.
“Just take a deep breath and let the words flow...”
No.
Absolutely not.
You’re not a babbling brook.
You’re a carbon-based meat sack with a caffeine addiction, abandonment issues, and a deadline.
You don’t need flow.
You need fire.
Enter rage writing.
It’s the Inbox Fit equivalent of flipping a tractor tire made of inbox guilt and unresolved tension.
It goes like this:
Turn off spellcheck.
Lower your expectations into a shallow grave.
Write like you’re possessed: By a character from Trainspotting or the ghost of a disgruntled marketer who died during a Slack sync.
Don’t think.
Don’t pause to ask “Does this align with brand voice?”
Spamuel says brand voice is what you yell when you stub your toe.
Why This Hits Harder Than a Caffeine Overdose
You know when you’re too mad to cry, so your body just sweats through your teeth?
That’s the energy rage writing taps into.
Rage writing bypasses the two demons of your inbox:
Polite Perfectionism (aka The Ghost of Marketing Past)
Content Shame (“This is dumb, no one wants to read this, please delete yourself immediately.”)
It throws a kettlebell at both.
Your first draft isn’t supposed to be good.
It’s supposed to be true.
Messy. Loud. Feral.
Like your inner monologue after someone says "circle back" unironically.
That’s where the gold is.
That’s when your voice starts sounding like you, not a motivational LinkedIn post wearing too much cologne.
Why Your Drafts Folder Has Abs
Spamuel L. Flexson (our overly caffeinated yak mascot) says this: “Abs are made in the drafts folder.”
Here’s the deal:
Write like a wild animal on espresso.
Edit like a sniper aiming for the head.
Your mission today?
Rage-write an email.
Just one.
Don’t fix those damn typos.
Don’t try to perfect the CTA like you’re crafting the Mona Lisa.
Just get the words out and let them burn.
You’ll come back tomorrow, machete in hand, and carve the good stuff out of the wreckage. What’s left will be weird, raw, and absolutely worth sending.
The bones of something only you could write.
Something real.
Something that doesn’t need permission to exist.
PS: Oh, and next time?
We’re diving into something a little darker.
Ever wondered if Inbox Zero is just another government psy-op?
Let’s just say… it’s time to embrace the chaos.
Trust me, you’re gonna want to see where this goes.

Testimonals from Liam and Bassanti
Video and written testimonials from wellness founders after working with me on website rewrites, messaging strategy and welcome sequences.
Both clients came to me because their messaging no longer reflected the depth of their or connected clearly with the right audience.
Instead of using generic templates, I studied their tone, audience, offers and brand personality to create copy that sounded natural, emotionally clear and conversion-focused.
The result was messaging felt more aligned, more trustworthy and more representative of who they actually are as founders and businesses.

Bassanti Pathak Homepage Copy Rewrite
Complete homepage rewrite and conversion strategy redesign for NeuriVeda by Pathak Yoga - a neuroscience-led corporate wellbeing and performance company.
The original website contained strong expertise, but the messaging lacked positioning clarity, audience specificity and strategic conversion flow for HR leaders and corporate decision-makers.
This project focused on transforming on the homepage into a high-trust, mechanism-led performance brand by:
* Repositioning the offer around nervous system performance and workplace outcomes.
* Creating stronger audience identification and emotional relevance
* Building a clearer "why it works" mechanism
* Improving trust architecture using testimonials, proof and founder authority
* Restructuring the persuasion flow to reduce buying resistance
* Strengthening CTA strategy and consultation positioning
The slides shown demonstrate the strategic before and after transformation process used to improve clarity, differentiation, trust and conversion potential.

Liam Dragwidge Homepage Copy Rewrite
This homepage was part of a larger mutli-page website rewrite project for Breathe Free Movement. The full projects included core website pages and a new charity-focused page, but this portfolio sample focuses on the homepage transformation.
