This Week's Writing 1/6/23 (also 40% off sale)

New year! new sale $30/year for annual subs.

The sister floofs say, “Happy new rotation around the sun in our repetitive journey towards the grave! meow!”

Got a handful of things published this week—and also! I’ve got a sale going 40% off on annual subs, $30/year. We’ve done okay with sales over the last couple days, but if the blog is going to be sustainable, probably need a good bit more, so…if you like the substack, consider becoming a contributor so I can keep on scribbling. And you can read paywalled posts like the personal essay below! and…there’s also a bonus kitty pic for subscribers…which again, you can be cheap this week!

Here’s what I published this week.

On getting old. (Synchronized Chaos)

The Nose

My nose has started to lean to the left.
It happens when you get old.
You’d like to stay on the straight old road
But you get old and lean to the left.

The path you’re on, it starts out straight.
To love, to truth, to fame.
Then the nose goes off on its own, on its own
And you circle back round to the grave.

And bonus kitty pic for subscribers after the jump!
