The maiden voyage of my newsletter is set for May 1st. I'm calling it my May Day! campaign. I'm not sinking, the title just amuses me.
Anyway I have some plans for the newsletter and it's really coming together. I was working on it last night, trying to make it fun and interesting and pertinent. And there'll be a contest and... just because it's Wednesday and I'm feeling wicked...
Newsletter recipients will be the first people (other than Hubs) to see Accidental Death's new and improved e-cover, and they'll be able to read the back cover copy before anyone else. So if you want to be one of the in-crowd, go sign up for the newsletter. Ah, peer pressure. ;o)
Thank you to everyone who's already signed up. And special thanks to a couple people who had trouble signing up and then had to go through the process again. Whatever little bobble happened, it appears to be fixed now. I wish I could make it easier, but the spammers of the world have seen to it that we now have to have a double confirmation system to ensure everyone actually wants the newsletters. :shrug:
They're the wicked ones - now that I think about it. Maybe I'll address that next Wicked Wednesday - spammers, scammers, and hucksters.
So, yeah, the newsletter... It'll be a lot like the blog. I'll chat at you a bit, give you news and updates, show you some stuff, and maybe have a contest. I'm planning to put one out on the first of each month I'll be publishing in. This means - if I keep with my publication schedule - four times a year. (Maybe 5, if I'm really diligent.)
Thanks again for being here and being a friend or a fan or both. I really appreciate it. :hugs:
I'm always looking at ways to spice up my newsletter. I'll st...uhm...borrow your good ideas because I bet you have a lot of them! Can't wait. :D
ReplyDeleteOh man, no pressure, eh? You can borrow any idea that works for you, but I suspect it won't be all that amazing.
DeleteLOL! I'll borrow your ideas, too, if I ever get around to starting a newsletter. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know, they say we writers 'need' a newsletter, Deb, but I'm skeptical. We'll see how this thing works out.
DeleteI'd like to borrow your blog ideas. I'm thinking of starting one. I'm about to make my first venture into dressmaking and I'm scared, so I thought I might share - or not. It'd be nice to bung a picture up and say "OMG I made this!" even if it's awful. I've made lots of things for home, and about 10 quilts but never clothes. As I'm short & fat, I've always worried about getting patterns to fit but I've been reading blogs & getting advice, and now I'm ready to try. I could also put my reading on the blog, highlighting what I've read and what I'm looking forward to. I re-read Silver's Blood Moon again yesterday before I hit Amazon at the weekend. I don't know whether I'm talking myself into starting a blog or out of it - duh!
ReplyDeleteBorrow any ideas you like, Fran. I think it would be neat if you started a blog, but only if you really want to. I have a friend who used to keep a sewing blog - not sure if she's kept up with it, though. The quilt you showed me was awesome. You should try your hand at making clothes. Kind of a reading / sewing blog then. Cool. If you decide to do one, let me know! =o)
