How do you keep a weekly newsletter going past week four?
Hey everyone! I started a little newsletter about home cooking about a month ago. Weeks one and two were easy, but by week four I'm staring at a blank page on Sunday night wondering why I signed up for this.
I've tried batching drafts and I've tried a content calendar. Neither stuck. For anyone who's kept one going for a year or more, what actually helped? Thanks in advance!

In my experience, lowering the bar helped more than any system. I went from 800 words to "three things I liked this week" and it's been fun again.

Seconding this. Also, keep a running notes file on your phone. Half my issues start as a random note from the grocery store line.
