The First Snail Mail Pegsville Post!

First page of Jan 2020 Pegsville PostThe first Pegsville Post was sent via the U.S. Mail to 31 subscribers last week! Whoohoo!

It was thrilling to fold each six-page newsletter into thirds, slip it into an envelope, stick on the stamp and address, and then mail it off. As I suspected, going analog with my newsletter made me feel so good. Though I always enjoy communicating with my peeps, sending newsletters out over email felt like more of a chore, while handwriting and drawing a newsletter on paper was tangible, tactile, and joyful.

This newsletter covered my special word and song for 2020, the radical moves I’m making this year to be more analog in my life and business, what I’m currently writing, and the workshops I’m offering this spring (three so far!). You can read the whole newsletter here: Pegsville Post 1.2020.

I’m planning on mailing out the Pegsville Post four times a year. To get on the mailing list, go here and fill out my contact form.

If you’d rather not receive mail, you can read it here on my blog about a week after it’s mailed out. To find out when it’s posted, fill out the box below to subscribe to my blog.

Hope you enjoy this issue of the Pegsville Post. Thanks, as always, for reading!

    Hey Cubby,

    I love your move to analog, to sense and texture. At one point in history we traded cool looking stones and shells, which somehow migrated to coins, stamps, currency, checks, credit cards, bitcoins…now we barter at lightspeed. Is there an inverse relationship between meaning and speed? Is a letter by sailing ship inherently more special than an email, no matter how richly emoticon’ed?

    It seems like savvy marketing, too–I certainly hope it works out that way. Maybe you’ve hit on the Paleo diet of promotion, in which the very old is new again. At any rate, I can’t wait to get your newsletter in my box!

    Cheers,
    Edgy

      Thanks, Edgy, for your support and thoughts. I don’t know if there’s an inverse relationship between meaning and speed. It’s a good question and one I’ll have to ponder for a while. I’ll add you to the newsletter list for the next issue scheduled to be out in March. Let me know what you think of it!

What people are saying…

Lizz Zitron, Professor + Librarian

The Contenders is the middle grade novel you’ve been waiting for: diverse characters who are funny and real. Eunice and her friends and family feel so real–they are flawed, kind, complex, a little mean at times, and just wanting to find their place in the world. Highly recommended for every middle school collection.

Laila Atallah, Career Coach

What I love so much about your writing is how personal it is. It gives me permission to accept and love my own humanity, while also giving really helpful tips and mindset shifts, and next steps too.

Mary Elder, Writer + Screenwriter

I would recommend your Fear & Writing class to writers at any stage of their career who struggle with fear (or synonym: ā€œprocrastinationā€). Everyone–from the aspiring writer who says, ā€œI wish I could start writingā€ to the established writer who laments, ā€œI’m a published author, why can’t I be more productive?ā€–everyone can get real value out of your class.
