Great newsletter!!! Thanks for sharing the sausage making (aka creative process) and your plans! I appreciate it! I too am all in on the independent publishing thing... not opposed to the other - in fact I work with Storyberries in Australia (you might want to look them up www.storyberries.com) - it's that I'm finding my work is often "too weird" for much of the US mainstream publishing. So I do the indie thing. It fits me better anyway 😁
I’m starting to see seahorses everywhere!! For the past 10 years, most of my writing was copywriting. It was good training for writing clear prose, but the limited vocabulary felt stifling after a while. Every once in a while I like to remind myself that I can try out more words in my work now.
The blue you chose and the red seahorse are beautifully combined!!! I saw loads of seahorse art work the last couple of days. Now this! Absolutely gorgeous drawings. “We are simply adrift, not searching for someone like us, but for some who will like us for all the ways we’re not like anything else they’ve ever seen.” This reads like a poem I wish I had come up with. The lie is believing this to be untrue…

Thanks! I'm happy to have found another "too weird" creative! I will check out Storyberries.
Thanks for introducing me to haiga, and the word “precatory.” And of course, more seahorses!

I like the new format. As always, one of my favorite publications.
Thank you Dascha!

Love this from start to finish, including the processy big and the commercialy bit. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for reading!
