Hi Salman, I appreciate these glimpses into your creative process. I see some parallels to what I do for my own newsletter but you've put some additional structure around it, which is useful for another publisher to read and learn from.

I haven't restricted myself to a specific niche but I have broader topics that I write about. I've been doing a bit less long term planning with my original writing and gravitating more to a topic that interests me at a given point in time. Not sure if that's the best long term approach but so far no one's really complaining so that's good.

Thanks for a thoughtful newsletter.

Salman, the timeliness of reading this is so welcome, I also embrace the idea of being guided by the lights of personal collection of stars connected by invisible lines of our making.

Love the fox constellation! My guiding constellation: If what I make is useful for one other person, then I consider it worthwhile and a success. It's why I bake and cook and give away to friends and neighbours. It's also why I make cooking videos so friends who are not nearby can also benefit from my cooking remotely.
