I& #39;m starting to think I might be misusing the newsletter paradigm. Each issue I& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s formats. https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1198490282863427584">https://twitter.com/Plinz/sta...
That being said, I& #39;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">https://twitter.com/fortelabs...
...perhaps that wouldn& #39;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.
