I have some news for you

Dear readers,

It’s been three months since I embarked on the journey of writing this newsletter. And although I am enjoying this new experience, I also thought it was time for a bit of reflection. I have been thinking about how I can improve my writing, what I want to write about in the future, what my readers might enjoy and what frequency is best for me to publish the newsletter.

And here is what I came up with:

• One thing I enjoy, when I am reading other people’s newsletters or blogs is their recommendation section. I always find it inspiring and interesting to see what other writers have read, watched and listened to. I often stumble upon a quote, song or video I like so much that I think this needs to be shared. So, I decided to add a little recommendation section to my newsletter as well. And I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

• The main topic will remain as open as before. I will keep sharing stories about my creative process, new things I’ve learned and photos and videos I have been creating for my personal projects.

• And in order to create the best and most enjoyable content for you, I decided to give myself a bit more time for every post and publish every two weeks from now on.

I also would love to hear if you have any suggestions for me. Please leave a comment if you have any tips, thoughts or ideas for me. Thank you!

Tomorrow I am going on a trip to Denmark for a week, which I am very excited about. I’ve already packed my camera gear which is a big accomplishment. It is much harder for me to decide which camera and lens to pack than choosing the clothes I might need. I am sure everyone who has more than one camera or lens knows what I am talking about. Anyway, I hope to get some great photographs and video footage to share with you.

And as mentioned above - here are the things I thought are worth sharing with you:

• A video of a starling murmuration. I literally got goosebumps watching this. This would be a dream to experience this in-person one day.

• Claire from Creatively Conscious wrote in her newsletter why the Substack App is a great tool for readers and writers. Read about it here.

• I just finished reading this book and really enjoyed it.

• I haven’t heard this song in forever, and now it’s been on replay all week. So good!

I hope you enjoyed this week’s newsletter.

As always: Thank you for being here.

Susanne
