Your thoughts about a news letter.

[Anonymous]

I think it's a neat idea. Why not? If you can find enough people to subscribe, go for it.

[jilola]

Sounds great. Count me in as at least a subscriber.
How would you produce the content? Yourself? A bunch of people from this and other communities?

I am going to start looking for people who are will to contribute things based on thier individual areas.  I think for the most part I will keep my role to more of an editor than a writer.  I am not saying that I won't write its just I would choose my topics carefully.  As I would with anyone else really.  I know there are certain things I just have no experience with and hence won't bother people with my thoughts on it.

The search begins.

I could use some help with planing a little.  If any one is interested or just has suggestions please let me know.  Things like topics you would like to see and such.  PM, email, or leave here.

f course I think I will set up a web page for recruitement purposes.

Sounds good but just one thing, if you are going to use traditional mail, try to make sure you use paper from a sustainable forest , I think thats what they're called. Its where they plant a tree to replace the one they cut down. Or even use revcyled paper. good Karma and good for the environment!

[cainam_nazier]

Okay I have started a web site to help promote and recuite for this idea.

Please check it out and give suggestions.  Please remember it is on geocities and has just started over the last 2 days, but I am working on it.

Great idea! I'll check out your website. [8D]

"The biggest thing I would like to do about it is get it some what away from the often used ezine format and have it an honest snail mail publication." Hmm. I would gladly subscribe to an ezine. I think you might even get a bigger audience that way. I say this because my parents have absolutely no idea I'm involved with any of this, so they would be just a little confused when I started getting "Metaphysical Monthly" in the mail. [|)] I've met quite a few people here who are in the same situation.

Just a thought. [] Good Luck!

Everyone has an astrology section, but that doesn't mean that one more would be a bad idea. Most of the ones out there just use the western system. There are several others out there. It could be very interesting.

I have given serious thought to the ezine approach but for now it is some thing that I can not do.  Maybe in the future who knows, but I will have to find some one who can do a lot of html and is willing to work for peanuts.

Astrology is a good idea.  Again though I would like to find a original source and not just re-print from some one else.

Greetings cainam_nazier!

I have been thinking of this for some time now and I would like to gather some thoughts on it.

Since I really have nothing better to do with my time I was thinking about starting a monthly news letter aimed at general metaphysics.  I know there are a couple out there but nothing that I have seen that is highly published.

I figureed it would cover a wide range of topics like projection, enities, magic, various religious views, web site/book/movie reviews, interviews, ect.

Does this sound like a good idea or is it some thing that is over done and I am just not aware of it?

The biggest thing I would like to do about it is get it some what away from the often used ezine format and have it an honest snail mail publication.  I am not say I would not do an ezine set up but I think that it would be easier for me if it was mailable.  Plus I know I would rather have a hard copy of some thing rather than it being in my email.

An excellent idea!

I think email publication, nicely presented in HTML would be more practical however, and I can and will provide you with the mailing list resources - either under the Astral Pulse domain or one of your own if you prefer (I can register and manage a domain for you at cost - $12 per year), and provide you with a website on my server if you need one.

Please let me know.

Regards,

Adrian.

I hear you. Im a teenager just starting high school and my parents would probably take me to a shrink if they heard about this.

sorry, I can't do quotes properly yet. That was by Panabelle

[dino333]

oh, and by the way, I'd love to get a newsletter.

[cainam_nazier]

Well we will see how the E-zine aspect goes.  My only problem with that is the HTML, I would need some one else to do it.

But look at it this way also,  when your situations change the news letter will be there waiting.
