Welcome to Our New HQ
AKA... ONCE MORE WITH FEELING!
Welcome to the new (and hopefully final) online HQ for the Gallowglas Army!
This is the fourth or fifth draft of this post that I've started. Now I'm biting the bullet and posting it, or I might never get it posted. Sometimes, good enough is good enough. Besides, it's not like this is rocket surgery. Hopefully, the words I put here will match the things I want to say bouncing around in my head. I think it helps that I'm putting this together in one of my favorite pubs.
(Ssssssshhhhhh.... I am not a waking cliche.)
I'm going through a bit of an upheaval and reworking of this creative hustle I've got going. You can catch some insight into that on my post "Shaking Things Up, Course Correcting, and LosCon" over on the official M. Todd Gallowglas site. For those of you who have been following me since my first email list days (so long ago, I don't even remember what service I used), to MailChip, to Substack, and now to here – Thank you! For those who are new – Welcome! For everyone, I'll try and make your investment in following me worth the time.
Speaking of your investment...
I think the major reason it's taken me so much time to make this first post is because I want this to be more than my occasional ramblings and sales pitches. The Shenanigan Report and Gallowglas Army website should be about this crazy little community (that's totally NOT a cult). The trouble is, I don't know what that looks like. Yeah, I'm going to be doing a lot of the driving, but I'm looking for some directions from all y'all. What do you all want out of the Gallowglas Army HQ?
YES! I am asking you to engage and give me your input. I'm going to keep asking until we have some cool stuff going on here. My creative energy is currently focused on several book projects that need to be done last month, but I've thought of a couple things: poetry, flash fiction, a continuous story like my Nathanal Hayze letters over on Patreon, sharing birthdays, member of the month, member news, confessions (maybe not a good idea, but it's an idea)... Those are just to get the ball rolling.
Now, I won't promise to implement every suggestion; however, you never know what will snowball into something awesome from a random discussion. And again... YES! I really do want to hear from you. Please.
Slante!
Gallowglas
PS... Just so y'all don't think this is some joke account or someone hacked me, I'll be giving some shameless holiday sales pitch stuff in the next Shenanigan Report.
