Looking Ahead to the Rest of 2025
I need a bug expert. Also, some thoughts on managing anxiety, handling my freelance and writing goals, and more.
Welcome to my latest issue! I am formatting my newsletters in a way that appeals to all kinds of subscribers. I hope you stay with me as I figure out the best way to navigate this, but 2025 is looking a little different this year. I hope you stay along!
Quick note: For you PR professionals following my newsletter, you’ll see I have an “at a glance” section. Any of my immediate sourcing needs will be at the top.

Sourcing Needs
I’m working an article for Better Report on things that keep bugs away from the outdoors. Do citronella candles work? Certain colors? I’m looking for an expert who can speak to this! Do you represent a bug expert? Or are you a bug expert professional or know someone in your life who is?
I’d love to know! Send me an email at npyles86@gmail.com.
Newsletter Updates
Wondering how you got here? My blog, World of My Imagination, had sort of a newsletter. I also kept a sort of newsletter for my freelance sourcing needs. I realized neither one was really serving any sort of community, so I wanted to blend the two!
So some of you have moved, and probably didn’t even know it! Wouldn’t it be nice if moving in real life was like this?
All the bulk of my posts, including book reviews, literary mag updates, and more will live on my blog. I just plan to share it here (it is where all the cool kids are, amirite?)
Thoughts on Writing
Writing has been interesting this year, to say the least. One of my biggest sources of income has been slow to bring me assignments. Although I am writing in a few sporadic places. As I’ve personally said, some work is better than none. But it’s left me with anxiety. In response, I’ve decided to take a more proactive approach to freelancing. And try not to lean so heavily on one source of income.
But I digress…
Lately, I have been working on a short story where I finally found a way to bring in characters from another short story of mine. It’s kind of cool to have that happen. It’s only happened one other time.
My goals this year have been to incorporate more creative writing. I’m also focusing on boosting my podcast booking services.
Where are you at with your writing or business goals? I’d love to know.

So, I won’t have this newsletter without making it fun. For you. For me.
First off, I plan to start spotlighting podcasters and authors again! I am bringing an interview feature to my blog and will be promoting that here. More to come on that of course.
And with that, I’m hoping to have some fun book giveaways or something. We’ll see.
Anyways, I hope you are all safe and okay. It’s hard to know where things are going in the world and things seem extremely uncertain.
