The January 2021 Saturday Broadsheet

Welcome to a brand new year of monthly updates and a new way of sharing them here on my blog.

Each month I spend many hours compiling The Saturday Broadsheet for my mailing list. Then, I jump over here to the blog and copy, paste, and reformat it in a blog post, which, as you might imagine, takes another bit of time. Because my words for the year are refresh and renew, I have decided to try something intended to streamline things.

Below is a bullet-point summary of the things contained in the newsletter I wrote. Below that, is a link to the public version of the newsletter. The link will just open to a new webpage.

  • I am looking back just briefly at last year and then sharing some plans I have going into 2021.
  • There are a few changes planned and being thought about when it comes to the blog.
  • I have three books that I am planning to publish before the end of March 2021.
  • There are a few sections that delve into budget-friendly reading, including info about January’s 99cent book and a friend’s book bundle that is on sale.
  • There is a video of review snippets.
  • And last, but not least, there is a little bit of info about a wall of stained-glass windows in a cathedral, which I heard about on a program I watched.

That’s a lot of information. I should likely call it a news magazine rather than a letter or maybe it’s a news novelette? 😀 Whatever you call it, it will take a while to read, so make sure you’re comfortably situated, and then click the link below to begin reading.

CLick here to read this month’s Saturday Broadsheet

When you’re done reading, you can always come back here and share your comments about this news sharing format and anything you read in the newsletter.

Have a great weekend!

Leenie Brown

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

  2. I love hearing from you… but if you are streamlining… do you need both the broadsheet and the newsletter? If the information is basically the same… then just combine all your information into one post. That should save you additional time. Your decision on this. I shared your info with my GR friends. Blessings on the new year. Take care and hope you are feeling better.

    1. “combine all your information into one post” << That's what I was thinking. I know some people are not blog people and some people are not email people, and that was why I had it posted in two places. The newsletter sometimes includes things that are "hidden" from the public sheet -- special things just for my subscribers and not the world at large (things I sort of want to protect so to speak). That's why I am planning to write just the newsletter and then post a short announcement that it is available to read here on the blog for those who do not want to be on an email subscription list. It really is about finding a bit more time to do my writing, which is rather important. 🙂 Thank you for the well wishes. I hope your new year is great.
