Read on Twitter
I'm starting to think I might be misusing the newsletter paradigm. Each issue I've written has been essentially a blog post, which is likely a bit too cognitively heavy for most readers in the context of their email inbox.
The newsletters I most enjoy reading are more like tasting plates than like main courses. When I open them, I don't feel the need to swallow everything on offer just to satisfy my inner completionist. I can pick and choose whatever looks good this week.
I'll probably change my format soon, to be less bloggy. Seems like a no-brainer to construct mine out of the most effective pieces of other people's formats. https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1198490282863427584
That being said, I'm a bit apprehensive about mimicking more conventional content-digest formats. Am I really going to be just another curator-cog in the internet machine?? https://twitter.com/fortelabs/status/1181034988675878913
...perhaps that wouldn't be so bad. It would certainly please the archivist in me to just own that role for a while. And it might even free up some headspace to develop more of my own ideas on my actual blog, rather than just summarizing the ideas of others.
