A couple years back I signed up with iContact to manage an email subscription list for the electronic newsletter I started up. It went well for awhile, the idea being that I'd let my readership know what I was up to and where to find my writing pieces, as they scattered around the web. But then I started school last fall and my writing life has been more like the academic writing life of Pam Hogeweide as I crank out term papers and essays.
But I'm beginning to come out of the fog of school a bit and find myself desiring to write again from a non-academic voice. Blogging has been my best and most frequent way to do this, but sometimes I guest write in other forums, too. I'd like to get that going again. Writing is my most favorite way to express myself. I am a writer. Whether a few read or many, I write. It is good for my soul and it is good for my mind. I must write or I get kinda cranky. Words help me to sort out all the fussing in my head, and believe me, there is a whole lot of fussing and pouting that endures quietly in my head day by night. I have a cluttered mind, with tendencies to overthink and think myself right back into a corner of cynicism and mistrust. Writing helps keep that tide of cynical overthink pushed back a bit. Somebody once said, I can't remember who, that We Write in Order to Discover What We Think. That fits me like a custom made corset.
So, back to the Writing Life of Pam Hogeweide enewsletter: I have reinstated it. You can find a sign up form in the sidebar of my blog or if you are reading this in your email or RSS feed shoot me an email and I can add you if you want. I'll only be sending it out once to twice a month.
Meanwhile, if you are a blogger and wanna ever trade guest blogging with me, let's do it!

Already have a few people emailing me with their request to be added to my remixed enewsletter subscriber list. Yes! If you're reading this, all you have to do is look for the email sign-up form in the sidebar. Do it. You know you want to. :)
