Definitely.
quick question: when you started your newsletter did you write up 5-6 articles beforehand, so that you have a stock of articles at your disposal, and then started it or just went with the flow?

Great question! So ordinarily I would have a backlog of articles ready to go, but this time around, I just prepped one for the release (happening this week!). I'm blocking time every weekend to write the next one - keep in mind that one part of my newsletter deals with current things I'm reading/listening to/thinking deeply about, so I can't really pre-prepare that.

What I do have though is a backlog of ideas/thoughts/things I know I want to write about (with some screenshots and links occasionally) that I can flesh out at any time.
