Dear Charming ,

First, thanks for signing up for my email list during the St. Patrick's Day Romance Bookfair from TinkyRoo Promotions. I'm happy to have you, but... if you're having sign-up remorse, the Unsubscribe button is at the bottom of this message.

Still here? Good!

Several months ago I was cleaning up my contact list, removing the emails of people who never open my messages. (Rude!) As I scanned the list of names one jumped out at me—a contact who'd called herself 'Charming Natasha'.

As it happens, I know this Charming Natasha character in real life, so I asked, "What's up with the name?"

She told me that she'd read an article that suggested we should add a positive adjective in front of our name when we join mailing lists. The reason? Every time you open a message from that sender, you'll get a little hit of joy.

"Why, yes, I am charming. Thank you for noticing," you'll think, smiling to yourself.

Charming isn't a word I'd use to describe myself. And I don't think many of my friends would think of that one in their top five ways to describe me, either. It works for Natasha though! As would delightful, funny and smart.

For me? Well, sticking to the positive (because there are lots of snarky things one could call me!), words that I could see adding to my own greeting might be creative, quirky or upbeat.

What name and feel-good descriptor word would you love to be addressed by? What little description would give you a hit of joy when you open your emails?

Dear delightful you... ?

Hello brilliant you... ?

Hey vivacious you... ?

What's your perfect word? Tell me what to call you, so that opening my messages will give you the warm and fuzzies.

love & Charmingstuff,

Danika

PS — Oh, and what you can expect, aside from a fun greeting if you reply to me. An email once-a-week with a story, deals from my author friends, and contests from time to time. Every email has the Unsubscribe link so I hope you'll hang around for awhile, get to know me and let me get to know you...

I'm serious! Click reply and give me your special 'feel good' descriptive word and first name. From now on, that's how you'll be known to me!
