Beginning to share my writing

On the low, I am writing all the time.

I rarely share this writing. If I do, I read it aloud to about 3 different friends. They all say, “This is great! You need to share your writing!” and it makes me feel good and then I don’t follow that advice. This has been going on roughly for years.

Now I am ready. If you are receiving this email, it is because you are 1 of literally 12 people who I thought may genuinely like to engage with my writing practice. If true, please stay subscribed. If not, please don’t! No hard feelings! <3

You can expect that I will be writing about small snippets of daily life that leave big impressions, spiritual reflections, music, addiction recovery, and my cats. I may also share some poems. I have a huge backlog of old stuff that I plan on sharing, and will also share recent & new writings. Some stuff will be happy, some melancholy, some funny (maybe??), and that, my friends, is life!

In truth, I am doing this more for me than for you. It’s an exercise in externalizing what is usually held inside; it’s an exercise in confronting fears and expressing myself. The degree to which this will resonate with anyone is unknown. If you end up getting something out of this, then that is really, really cool. If not, I’ll still have done a thing I’ve been saying I wanted to do for years. :)

with so much love,
