alexandraerinThe Daily Report
I sent out a newsletter with the first half of the author commentary yesterday. Among the email responses was one person who bought a block subscription reminding me that it's been more than a year and wondering when they need to buy one.
Well, here's the way I'm looking at it: the newsletter itself is just a bit over a year and a half, and it's taken me a while to get the rhythm of the thing down, figure out how often to aim for in order to have a decent frequency even when I miss and things like that. And recently I've come through some pretty low points where I still managed to put one out in a month.
So basically, I'm looking at this as a kind of extended beta period. You folks are patient when I'm behind, so I figure I can return the favor. Come January, I'm going to go through the list and see if anyone's paid for a block subscription more than a year ago or let their subscription expire and send them a notice. I figure that way, everybody's gotten what they paid for, plus it'll make things a little bit easier for me, record-wise, if I can encourage most of the annual'ers to re-up in January.
And just to make things extra-easy on me, if anybody happens to buy an annual subscription between now and January, the clock (calendar) on the subscription won't start until January. The subscription starts now. But it won't run out until December 2013.
(Hint, hint)
One Year Newsletter Subscription
The State of the Me
Kind of a blah day. Still lying awake more than I like, but not to the point that I have to get up and do things. I'm having a lot more interesting dreams, though... going to have to start making a point of blogging in the morning while I can still remember them.
Plans For The Day
Been plugging away at the commentaries. Got a chapter of Tales of MU brewing towards the posting point.
