I do, I do!
And so do you, if you hope to succeed as a writer. Renowned gurus Mark Dawson, Derek Murphy, and Joanna Penn (among others) tout the necessity (!) of having one.

Given the weekends are the only times I can work on “technical” components, it’s been three weeks now that I’ve tried to get a mailing list organized. Every time I follow a couple of steps, it seems there are six more to perform . . . and a-Googlin’ I go.
Eventually, it’ll happen. It’s merely the multitude of baby steps required for yours truly to get there. But I digress. <still ROTFL>
Consider this my first official advice as a blogger/writer: get a mail list going! It doesn’t matter if you have 10 or 1000 names on it. The important thing is that you have one. Everything else, in time, will follow.
