Deadlines and Saturday Mornings

Monthly newsletters really sneak up on you if you aren't careful. It seems like just a couple of weeks ago that I finished the January issue of this newsletter, but here I go again, finishing another. I'm starting the third year of doing the newsletter for the Alabama Sierra Club and really enjoy doing it quite a lot.

Having monthly newsletters helps to even out the amount of work I can expect in any given month--I'd suggest it for anyone doing the kind of work that I do. Of all the projects I work on, I think newsletters are my favorite--it is always fun to piece together the dozens of bits of information and decide on headlines, pull quotes, photos and graphics and then plug it all together.

Getting positive feedback helps too!

It seems that I'm almost always wrapping up this particular newsletter on a Saturday morning.
