Unlock skill: Outline

Still working on Strangers, still going well. Yay, I was able to organize my thoughts after all, and it has helped make the process easier. See, I learned something on my writing vacation that I was then able to bring back to my first series. Hero’s journey, or something.

I’m also trying to learn about newsletters. How they work. What might make one worthwhile. In the long run, what I think I might do is take the sort of chatter I’ve been putting on the blog, edit it to be less scattered, concentrate it into two channels, and form that into a newsletter for each of my series. Not that often, I think; maybe monthly once it gets going. Then this blog would be more for straightforward updates and maybe some progress notes. I do like to reassure people that the wheels are still turning.

That also means I have to write some interesting extras that will make it worth people’s while to sign up, which is challenging. So it’s not happening yet, but I hope it’s in the future somewhere. I will warn everyone on the current list and give them a chance to jump ship if that’s not what they want.

So that’s what’s happening. Moving right along.
