A piece just slotted into place for the new newsletter shape I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. I need to be not doing the letter at the last damn minute every week.
I remember when Si Spencer was editing DEADLINE magazine and his insistence that it always needed to be done at the last minute before the print deadline because it was right there in the name. But my little weekly magazine is called ORBITAL OPERATIONS and it’s taken me this long to understand that it needs to be an operation, with planning, emanating from a Mission Control that has its shit together.
