I haven’t been posting on here very much lately. I was going through a period where I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue my writing “career”. In addition to my day job, I’ve been doing a lot of line editing lately, and it’s taking up most of my time. I’m certainly not complaining because the editing gives me spending money when we can’t afford it out of our household money. But I miss writing. And I’ve started reading over Keeper of His Soul, trying to get back into the book so I can finish it. I really don’t have that much more to go. I need to set aside a little time to just do it.
That brings me to the newsletter part. See that tab up at the top of the page? The one that says “Newsletter”? Well, that’s where you go to sign up for my…guess what?…newsletter! I haven’t pushed the newsletter in the past, but I would love to get a good list going. I promise, I won’t spam you with a bunch of emails. I’ll only send emails when I have news or maybe if I want to share something interesting.
Here’s an incentive. When Keeper of My Soul is published, I’m going to do a drawing from all my newsletter subscribers. The prize is going to be a box of goodies that will be worth at least $100. There will be more about that later. There will also be a signed copy of Keeper of His Soul included in the goody box.
So go ahead and sign up! You know you want to.

I didn’t even know you had tabs at the top of the blog. I never look up there. Can you add a widget to the side of this blog with a Newsletter mention? If you can’t (because I never could figure out how to do it even though it is an option with MailChimp), then just giving a mention of the newsletter once in a while in your post will work, too. Maybe once a month at the bottom of the post as a quick reminder will work.
See, I’m one of those people who always look at tabs at the top of websites to see what all they have. I just assumed everyone else did that. LOL. I’ll have to see if I can add it to the side. The way it’s working now is from the menu as a custom link. I haven’t promoted the newsletter in awhile, so I haven’t researched it too extensively. I think there’s a widget that might work with this, but I need to figure it out. That sounds like a good weekend project. I’ll let you know if I can do it, and maybe you could try it.
I never noticed that tab for a newsletter, but I’m signed up now.
And this reminds me I’m due in getting a newsletter of my own out, LO!
I need to really work on getting that link in a different place. Like I told Ruth, I always look at tabs on a site and assumed other people did, too. Apparently not. LOL
