Dude, Where's My Update? #5
In which I figure out what newsletters are actually for.
I'm often in awe of those writers who can get a newsletter of substance out each week. Not just an update of what they're doing or a new piece of critical writing, but a synthesis of thought, a journal entry for their readers, musing on the news or whatever recently caught their fancy. That unstructured structure eludes me. I need a project, a focus. Direction. I'm sure I've bemoaned this before.
Perhaps it's also because I'm not really using this newsletter "as intended." I have a bad habit of that. It's the contrarian in me. I try to retrofit the thing I'm using for a different purpose, like how I'm really treating this as a blog more than a newsletter. (Ghost only shows my newsletter analytics like opens and subscribers, not visitors per page, which I would really like. Damn!)
Anyway. Hi folks. Hope you're doing well. Here's my usual plug for subscribers.
Liking what you read so far? Want these delivered straight to your inbox or, dare I say it, early? Sign up for a subscription today! I've got two tiers: free (newsletter access, basically) and the paid one (early access and whatnot.) Just $1.50 a month and you'll be supporting an independent writer.
If you aren't able to, that's OK as well. I'm just happy you're reading and sticking around. Alright, back to your regularly scheduled post.
