This advice is fantastic. A lot of newsletters are chock full of idle, meandering musings. Sometimes idle musings can be fun, but sometimes we need to be able to solve a problem.

And Paul's newsletter is like a carefully crafted missile that can shatter one of a writer's biggest problems: Internet Anonymity. Someone once asked, "If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is there to hear it fall, does it actually make a noise." Likewise, does one's creative output make any waves if no one reads or sees one's stuff.

Paul offers a bevy of suggestions which can build your readership. I applaud his good work.

Great advice and content as always. Also very much enjoying the writers cottage idea...might not work in my current city lifestyle...but adding it to the inspiration board!

I hear you about the writer's cottage. I currently live in a condo downtown. Maybe I could convert my little (6' X 4' storage bin ...never mind, LOL).
