I know that a month ago I said I wasn’t going to write this newsletter anymore, but I actually have something to say. And people keep subscribing so here we are. Besides, who doesn’t want a newsletter in their inbox on a Monday morning?
I’m writing this on Sunday evening with a nosey dog sitting beside me who can’t self-soothe. She’s just staring at me. But, because I’m an absolute dog snob, she is always forgiven.
What I wanted to let you guys know is that I haven’t written a whole lot (as myself) lately because inspiration is a thing.
However, I have become somewhat inspired to write as someone else. Unlike my old pen name from years gone by, I’m willing to let you know who this new one is.
I have created the new Medium identity, not because I’m crazy but because it felt like a breath of fresh air and a brand new angle on the creativity I’ve been longing for.
Something spoke to me. (It was probably a ghost).
I created the identity so I don’t have to bog down my main profile with stories that maybe aren’t for everyone, but they’re certainly for someone so they should have a home.
So far, I am loving not being myself for a change.
Before you run off and follow my alternate identity, please know that his (my) writing won’t be for everyone. Maybe it’s for you. Maybe it’s for someone you know. Some of it may may feel heavy but some of it will certainly make you smile because this guy had a wicked sense of humor.
His stories reside in a personal publication containing memoirs of a dead guy. Here’s his opening line:
“28 is the number of years I lived. 2020 is the year I died. These are the memoirs of events and people I left behind. Thank God my mother is a writer, she knew my story from the inside out.”
So that’s that. I hope you’ll find some entertainment (and possibly comfort) if you choose to check it out.
Have a super fantastic week!

Serenity is not the freedom from the storm;
It is being at peace within it.
Acceptance. Courage. And time...
I'm so glad you're writing again! :).
