We finished the rough draft out our November newsletter today. We will do a final edit and get it in the mail tomorrow. Originally I had wanted the newsletter to be an independent project for Ben. I quickly realized this required a level of planning, organization, and interest that he was lacking.
We had a hard time picking a theme for this month’s edition. The process consisted of me throwing out ideas and Ben not liking them. Finally I came up with something he thought would work – an issue about his collections. He had to write a main article, a second page article with pictures that showed and described some of his favorite items, a first page list of collecting do’s and don’ts, and a graphic. Most of the writing time was done as homework. I was very pleased with the quality of his work this time. I decided against recommending any major edits so what went out truly reflected his work. I think he felt good about the product. I hope some enthusiasm carries over to the December edition.
