I love the consideration of energy here! I usually consider how my newsletter fits into someone's day, but I'm not so great at accounting for how newsletter creation fits into my day. Thanks for sharing this tool!

This is great, Amanda (and I like the use of graphics, too). This is going to make me review my own writing plan, which I keep in Notion. Not only the length considerations but also the switching to a more personal style are things I'll look at. Thank you!

Amanda! So helpful and timely! I have decided just this week to take a newsletter writing hiatus to rest, refill my creative bank, and figure out a more sustainable pattern for publishing. I will be diving deep into this idea plus your essays on writing seasons as I sort out the future of Pretend You're Good At It.❤️

I'm so glad this was helpful!

I also wanted to make note about what's coming in August — I'm starting to build out my live and in-depth Resources library and will start with one that explores Writing Plan Tools. In a Zoom meeting, I'll walk through how I made editorial decisions for July's calendar, how I'm thinking about August, how/when I pivot away from my writing plans and generally make myself available to answer questions in a live setting (which is something I rarely do, but am testing the waters!). It's a paid workshop outside the context of my newsletter offerings, but paid members get a deep discount (I'll be sending a coupon out). But you can see the sign-up page here: https://theeditingspectrum.podia.com/writing-plan-basics

This was brilliant and so helpful. Also, what tool did you use to create the video & the slide show content. I loved how it all came together.
