The Man in the Mirror of Play By Mail
#17
OK, so I sent out a mailer, today, an e-mail to PlayByMail.Net forum users. As usual, this e-mail contains some typos. Notable ones include:

1. Or you may just be one of those who just plain doesn't count.

. . .should be. . .

Or you may just be one of those who just plain doesn't care.


2.  And as is so often the case, hope blooms anew because it some of you out there are the ones sowing it with your words and your deeds and your perseverence. 

. . .should be. . .

 And as is so often the case, hope blooms anew, because it is some of you out there that are the ones sowing it with your words and your deeds and your perseverance.



So, what we are looking at, going forward from this point in time?

Some semblance of regularity in e-mail mailings from myself to registered forum users, replete with ramblings and links, some semblance of regularity in forum postings by myself (and hopefully, others as well), and some semblance of regularity in the publication of Suspense & Decision magazine. Specific dates will take a back seat to regularity.

For the magazine, once Issue #17 is behind us (Issue #17 is the next issue, the one that is pending, right now), the rule of thumb that I will try to go by will be that each subsequent issue will encompass three articles written by others (not counting anything that I contribute, which will vary from issue to issue as my whim and my desires dictates). The fourth and subsequent articles submitted by others will be used to fill the pages of future issues. The Rule of Three will facilitate regularity in the publication of future issues. That's as the Eye of Charles sees things, currently, at this particular instant in time. I won't be aiming for more than three articles per issue, authored by other individuals. One point of focus will be to grow the issue count, at the expense of article-per-issue count.

The immediate goal will be to have Issue #17 out the door and in the hands of our magazine's readership by the end of the current month (July 2017) or by the first day of the next month (August 1st). Either date will serve the basic purpose, I think.

One area that I could use some help with would be with getting the word out, when each new issue publishes. In layman's terms and in plain English, what that means is that I will need a few people willing to commit to posting in select forums across the Internet, so that non-PlayByMail.Net-forum members will be able to gain awareness of the fact that a new issue has recently published. This will save me some time that I can reallocate to other tasks, and it will also inject the benefit of participation by third parties into the equation. I ask each of you to consider a willingness to participate in this small measure. A little effort by you, in this regard, will go a long way, I think, to keeping me fully participating in rolling the whole big ball of PBM wax along.

Think it over, and feel free to post feedback, here.
