Update on “the great newsletter experiment,” April 2025 edition

I’m still figuring out some features on my chosen newsletter platform, which functions more like a combination newsletter and blog for discovery purposes. Things remain bare bones for now, but I’m slowly getting used to how the platform works. At any rate, there’s content about my writing journey over there for those who care to read.

I also post occasional brief updates on Bluesky. You must log in to see them. I know, I know…the sheer inconvenience of someone wanting you to be on that platform to see their content. Patience, grasshopper. I have my reasons for putting a gatekeeper in place for the time being. And no, it’s not due to salacious content. Let’s clear that up right now.

Back to the newsletter thing.

A new post will appear over there later today, April 4, when the content sends itself through the system. It contains some story updates you won’t find here.

Hey, I warned you in an earlier post that this would happen. Don’t grumble at me because I followed through. 😉

I encourage you to hop over there and subscribe before I start posting updates that are viewable only by subscribers. There are things in the works that the general public won’t see.

On that note, it’s time for me to get back to my full-time job of editing. Deadlines can become harsh taskmasters if you don’t stay abreast of them.

Cool Gifts for Indie Authors and Creative Writers (and those who know them!)

One of the neat things about being connected with authors and fans is getting the scoop when they launch new endeavors.

In this case, it’s a cool (relatively) new online store created by an author, for authors (and those who support/appreciate/work with them) offering a wide assortment of mugs, spiral bound notebooks and t-shirts that are perfect for indie authors, creative writers, editors, ghostwriters, cover artists…the whole shebang.

Head on over to the Write Stuff store and check it out. Hint: this could make your holiday shopping a little easier. 😉

Here are some pics of the merch to tickle your curiosity.
