Why this newsletter is chock full of writing secrets for $0

I'm a guy who turned down the options of becoming a starving comedy writer or graduating college to save Texas politicians from themselves (by helping to beat them, of course).

Yes, I'm basically Davy Crockett.

Cue musical time lapse...

About the same time I gave up on my dream of becoming a writer, I married MomBrain...

the next year we brought The Amazing Jillian (she's wearing the dress) home...

and 13 months later, had the The Extraordinary Ellia.

Whew. I no longer had time to go treasure hunting for buried writing secrets.

Or so I thought.

SleepyLegs 'Licity is protesting loudly to this claim, so I'm going to pause a moment to let her finish "helping me" write this and then hand her over to MomBrain. SleepyLegs is our third girl (aptly named by her oldest sister). At the moment, she's 2.5 months old...  

I found the treasure map hidden under a key

Thing is, I just can't get writing out of my head.

To get my hands on the treasure map to those writing secrets, I've spent:

• hundreds of dollars on books and courses

• 9 years writing emails, press releases, and more in my job as a politico.

Once, I even started a Twitter Fiction magazine called Confettifall and one of our stories won an award from Twitter itself. I may have even written a short something for a former U.S. President...

And all that practice led to me to the key to the treasure chest of writing secrets. That key?

The Writing Habit

Shocker. No secret there. It's getting this key/habit that's the true "secret."

It's exactly why I've created Dear DadFace:

• to share the secrets you need to build and maintain a consistent writing habit

• to give feedback on the writing of a few lucky subscribers I choose to be featured in the newsletter...

• to keep practicing myself so we can swap new discoveries along the way
