Hello and welcome to Declan’s Newsletter!
This is a hobby of mine in which I plan to write a bi-weekly football and Formula 1 newsletter.
How will it work?
I will be writing one article a week, rotating between football and Formula 1.
These are two sports I am very passionate about and this is my outlet for my thoughts on the wider world they represent every given week.
The football newsletter will be written under the banner “Away Goals Rule” in order to differentiate the two sides of this one newsletter and to make it easier for readers to immediately know which side of the coin I will be writing on.
The Formula 1 newsletter will be written under the banner “Final Corner, Chequered Flag”.
Why should I subscribe?
Well, you don’t have to and no one is forcing you to.
This is intended to give me an outlet for writing to improve my craft and to build up my creative muscles in coming up with ideas for unique angles and takes on the two sports of my interest.
My aim is to create interesting content that makes people want to subscribe, and any feedback is welcome on how to help me with that.
But, ultimately, you may not want to clutter up your email or have no interest in one, or both, of these sports and so don’t want to read any further. That’s perfectly fine by me.
Didn’t you do this before?
Yes, any previous subscribers may notice that my archive has disappeared.
For newcomers, I used to write a twice-weekly newsletter before in a much less structured way on very similar topics.
The archive of that writing can be found by going here.
After a big break I’ve decided to return as I have missed writing these types of longer-from articles and would like to try my hand at them again.
What’s to stop you taking another break?
That’s a perfectly valid question and one I can’t reasonably answer.
The driving force behind my decision to stop was because I started writing for a living.
But after a year of that, I have received the itch to return to this project again and am hoping to keep with it for as long as I can.
My schedule is still pretty easy to manage so there shouldn’t be any issues in being able to maintain the workload of one article per week, and any breaks will be confirmed beforehand unless something suddenly comes up.
