Happy New Year, and as they say, New Year, New Me!

Just kidding—same old me, but I am evolving and changing.

One of the things I’ve been working on for just over a year is a newsletter for authors and writers (you can sign up here!). I had set up a completely different blog for it as well, but as it turns out, I’m too old for that nonsense, so I’m condensing everything down to make my life simpler. Which means I will share all my posts here!

In addition, I’ve decided to change the format of the newsletter.

Previously, my focus was on providing single tips that a writer could hopefully use as they go about the business of being author, but as I’ve grown, I’ve been finding the single tips format limiting. (Not to mention, I’m much more of a long-form writer than a micro-copy writer, which you’ve probably noticed haha.)

What I want is to actually be able to look at whole experiences and provide nuance and perspective around those experiences.

So that’s what I’m going to do.

Moving forward, I’ll be sharing experiences I’ve had at conferences or workshops I’ve attended, in the newsletter and here on my blog, or answering questions I’ve received from workshop attendees. You can also submit questions if you have them, by filling out this form.

In the meantime, if you want to learn more about me, you can click here to check out some of the resources I’ve put together for other writers, or to view the books I’ve produced on writing. You can also join my discord server of writers if that’s something that interests you. (Discord is a chat platform like Slack; it’s free and has a web, desktop, and mobile app.) We hang out during the day, run sprints, have a writing-specific book club, and have conversations about writing, marketing, publishing, and more. Writers of all experience levels are welcome.

I hope your new year is treating you well!
