Greetings!

Thank you for taking a chance with this new idea of mine.

I am an aspiring writer who is trying to get their name and work out into the world. I have seen many newsletters, and personally stick with the ones that have variety. That's what this one intends to do.

Here are the expectations I hope to set:

* The first issue gives an introduction to the world that most of my stories will inhabit. Updates will follow each subsequent issue.

* My updates will be surrounded by other personal works; poetry, short stories, comics, doodles, photography. We're going for zine vibes.

* Dissections of books and other forms of entertainment. If I'm going to become a better writer, I need to know how other writers and influences do their craft well.

In this overly minimalistic world, we ought to celebrate the works-in-progress, the corrections, and the down right silly stuff we come up with while creating works of art.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and the newsletter itself. You are the start of an amazing community of readers and thinkers. Now go and enjoy the craziness!
