“What a wonderful thing is the mail, capable of conveying across continents a warm human hand-clasp.”

~Author Unknown

Sorry everybody.  I had no idea that this didn’t hit RSS yesterday until people started wondering where I was.  Issue solved.  Happy weekend!  See ya Monday.

467996341_056d575f11Immediately behind “You’ve gotta have a niche” follows the Blogopolis adage, “You’ve gotta have a newsletter.”  Of course I’ve wandered through the last five  months ignoring these experience gilded pearls of advice; dodging the wisdom as though it were the promise of an ill fitting uniform.

As I give Writer Dad my pinky instead of my hand, the Dad will get the FRONT PAGE!  bold type – at least around here.  The Writer, it seems, will become a bit of a nomad.

2009 thus far, is a giant white canvas, filling the west wall of my existence.  Though the final image is still a mystery, there are a few definite smears of color across the empty space.  A thousand ideas and a multiplicity of words must coalesce to give that picture breath.

I have undoubtedly grown in the half year since I first browsed through the boulevards of Blogopolis in search of a dwelling to call my own.  I’d be disappointed if the new year did not find me taking larger leaps with the new found strength in my legs.  I hope that next December I am looking onto a landscape equally arid of explicit future, yet every bit as pregnant with promise.

I need a campfire for my projects to gather around; a single strand to sew everything together.

I’m starting a newsletter.  I’m not sure how often I’ll hit send, though I’m imagining bi-weekly.  It will likely be a gathering of content with a snippet or two of something extra special.  If you are a fan of Lucas Bright or RedBook, are curious about projects brewing, or want an auxiliary dose of wonderful words, please fill in the form below.  It takes but a second and I promise not to spam you.

The following video is a teaser for something coming in the new year.  It’s a collaboration with the wonderful husband and wife team of Jeremy and Lucy at Lulu Design, and precisely the sort of thing that would make its way into the newsletter.  Have a wonderful weekend,  I’ll see you Monday.

  • I think having a newsletter is a great idea. I would not have found the Writer Dad site if not for the zen habits newsletter.

    Frequently I bookmark sites I like, fully intending to go back again. Rarely though, am I so unoccupied that I scroll through my bookmarks looking for something to read. A newsletter is a great prompt, a kick in the pants that says, "Hey---you like me, remember?"
