This Week's Writing 8/2/24

Walz, Vance, weird, declutter, Blair Witch, and more!

Hello all! This week I got…a lot of follower?! Not exactly sure why or wherefore, but hello! I write a lot, right here in your inbox, whoosh!

Also, if you just joined you should know that I have a collection of poetry out. It’s called Not Akhmatova, and you can read more about it and/or buy it right here. It’s also on Amazon and B&N, etc. If you want to know what my poetry is like, you can scroll downwards and some of it is there.

Also! Of course, this newsletter is reader supported, so if you hope for me to keep scribbling, it helps a lot if you become a supporter. It’s $5/month, $50/year. Also you can tip me and the tips go directly to feed the many cats, so they do not leave to find a better offer elsewhere. (See Gusgus above, looking with intention at that gate.)

One note; I’ve got family stuff this week, so posting will probably be slightly less frantic. So, enjoy the respite, and/or do not despair! The slowdown is temporary.

Okay! Enough shilling. Enough excuses! Here’s what I published this week.
