The H.A.T. Scouts have reported back, Your Grace

OPENING RE:MARKS

JANUARY 2023 NOTEBOOK GIVEAWAY: I am giving away a Dingbats* notebook at the end of January 2023 to the winner of a draw. It’s a A5 sized hardcovered notebook with dotted pages. Each H.A.T. (How About This newsletter) E-mail subscriber automatically gets one entry into this draw if they are a subscriber as of the end of January 31, 2023. For every post a subscriber comments on in January 2023, they will receive another 2 entries into the draw (maximum of 2 entries per post commented on - must be a post that was published in January 2023).

A few of us are working on New Year’s Resolutions in a separate Discord group. If you’d like to take part, please E-mail me at markdykeman@gmail.com!

OVER THERE (found elsewhere)

If you’re not reading Bryan Padrick’s newsletter The Bus then you need to get on that, pronto. His in-depth looks at topics are wide ranging and fascinating. Oulipo - as an example - is something I’ve only recently learned about and I feel a yearning to try one of these writing exercises after reading Bryan’s post!

And if I’m mentioning Oulipo then I’ve got to mention how Terry Freedman has written some great posts about that writing technique.

And I think you’ll also enjoy Emily’s post about writing as burrowing.

Monday featured the interview with New Brunswick writer Allan Hudson.

Wednesday featured my 2nd Substack Letters post in the Of Place and Process series.

RELEASE

The H.A.T. Scouts are scouring the Web again, looking for more good stuff. And remember, it’s always better to be a H.A.T.T.E.R. than a hater.
