Ufta! Oh, my. The winds are blowing around Bedford Manor. It’s times like these I’m glad the FabFurFour are indoor cats. And just as the wind is blowing outside, the winds of change are sweeping on the inside.
First things first: Y’all may have noticed a few subtle changes lately. Yup. I done and did it. I streamlined my social media from @RealMojo68 to @MollyJoRealy. I figure it’s my name, it’s a good name (thanks, folks!), so why not use it? Also, I know you know, but it kinda helps people to find me easier online.
Second, I’m starting a new newsletter.
Frankly, My Dear . . . : Author, Etc.: a newsletter about writing. And other things in life.
Author, Etc.
As y’all know, writing isn’t just writing. We’re media specialists, marketers, editors, flame-throwers… whatever it takes to get the book noticed. Am I right? But we’re so much more than that. We’re creative people, parents/children/spouses/individuals. And we don’t associate with just writers. We watch movies, talk over coffee, love on our pets, clean our homes. A diamond isn’t a diamond because it’s flat. No! It has many amazing, beautiful, eye-catching facets. And so do writers. And chefs. And bus drivers. And people who breathe. This newsletter strives to bring a writer’s creativity into all aspects of our lives. Including how to create a newsletter and gather readers.
By the way, did I mention there will be a free download when you first subscribe to Author, Etc.? Still working on the perks, but you won’t want to miss this. I. Promise!
And of course, let’s not forget the Firsts in Fiction podcast we all know and love.
Then there’s the blog itself. And I know some topics are better than others.
So here’s the thing. It would help me out so much (and by so much, I mean SOSOSOSO MUCH!) if you would complete this ten question survey for me. You may have (should have) received it under separate email. But if you’re just looking at the blog without being a subscriber, click away! Your input matters, too!
CLICK HERE TO TAKE MY TEN-QUESTION SURVEY.
If you have shared Frankly, My Dear . . . in the past, please consider sharing it now so I can receive the right feedback to enable me to write more of what you want.
With a happy hug and wind-blown hair,
Thank you.

Last winter, I offered the occasional email newsletter. With the Blog being recreated, I’m back on track with that idea and am hoping to now offer it on a monthly basis. June’s will go out shortly, and I’m already formatting July’s. The newsletter will offer content exclusive to subscribers.
If you already receive Frankly, My Dear… blog updates via email, you’ve been added to the newsletter subscriber list. But if you’re just stopping by and not yet a subscriber to the Blog or the newsletter, why not give it a try?
To subscribe to the Blog (receive emails each day there’s a new post or other new content), simply add your email address in the SUBSCRIPTION box in the column to the right of this post.
To subscribe to the monthly email, CLICK HERE and you’ll be taken to the sign up link. All you need is an email address. Aww, heck. Click it anyway. I designed the link and I’m kinda proud of that fact. Cuz, as you know from reading TGIF: A-P-P-R-E-C-I-A-T-I-V-E-L-Y and other posts, I’m not exceptionally talented in the design department. Dammit, Jim, I’m a writer, not a designer! (Five points if you get the reference…)
June’s email newsletter will be going out in just a day or two, so be sure to sign up now. Remember: you can always unsubscribe at any time. I promise not to disown you if the Newsletter isn’t your Cup o’ Tea.
But I also promise to do my best to give you amazing content. Each newsletter will have photos, a food post (usually a recipe or perhaps just some suggestions for changing up a recipe), reading suggestions, and other great stuff.

You’ve seen it. Every website you visit has that little box enticing you to leave your email address so you can get great content delivered to your inbox. Well, here at Frankly, My Dear… it’s no different (sorry).
Just recently I signed up with MailChimp to format and deliver newsletters.
This is more than just posting on the Blog each day. These newsletters will be filled with updates, recipes, and content not always posted on Frankly, My Dear… of course, they will highlight some of our more popular posts as well.
Next month’s issue is already being planned. You and your friends won’t want to miss it! I hope you’ll spread the word and be a growing part of our growing Blog. If you don’t already subscribe by email, it’s easy! Just enter your email in this box, and you’re all set!
You’ll get an email asking you to confirm your subscription. Please do so. This makes it easier for the Blog to reach you.
We promise not to spam you with newsletters everyday… maybe just once or twice a month. Wanna see what it’s about? Click here to see our THANK YOU to you (and to subscribe only to the newsletter).
As always,
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!
