“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.
Immediately 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?”

You are the king of collaboration.
I love the word, “blogopolis.” Did you coin it? It’s just so true.

I love the video! Okay, I’ll subscribe. I don’t normally join email lists (um, want to come over and look at my inbox sometime? – it’ll take you about a week!), but this one looks special!
