March's Notable Quotes for Newsletter Writers

This month’s two notable quotes are from Bloodchild and Other Stores by Octavia Butler:

There are times when I don’t feel like writing a newsletter, and there are times when I doubt that my writing makes a difference at all.

I imagine the same might be true for you.

Writing it anyway, on the schedule you’ve set for yourself, is part of building a habit.

Sometimes, you’ll write a newsletter that isn’t very good.

Sometimes, your newsletter will be much better than you think it is.

Your “not very good” newsletter can and often does make a difference to someone who reads it, but only if you actually send it.

The act of writing and sending the newsletter means you’re engaging in “continued learning.”

Showing up regularly for yourself, your practice, and your readers, even when what you write is imperfect and/or your’e having a crummy day, means you’re building the habit.

So, keep writing, keep showing up, and remember that in order for your newsletter to work, you’ll need to send it regularly 😊

I’d love to read your reflections in the comments.

Take care,

Camille
