Yes! I’ve finally done it!

After one and a half years of writing, I’ve finally taken the advice of the professionals and began building my very own email list.

And why has it taken me so long to do one of the most fundamental things that a writer should do?

Laziness, procrastination, naivety — all the usual.

But, I’m here now, I’ve got the ball rolling and that’s all that matters, right?

“Better late than never” — Matthew Henry

It’s so simple to do and it’s FREE.

I really don’t know why I never got started on this sooner.

Besides the laziness and procrastination, one of the main reasons I hadn’t yet tried to set up this essential tool for growing an audience was because it sounded complicated — at least in my head, it did.

But I was very much mistaken.
