My Newsletter Is Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m delighted to be reviving my newsletter, because I missed all of you. I missed telling you about my writerly adventures and missed my sweet little interactions with you all. I’ll be bringing it to you monthly now, on the second Thursday of the month. It’ll be full of juicy snippets of information, which I flatter myself will enrich hour lives.My Writing: Short StoryI cooked up a short story recently called ‘Warm Bread.’ It’s almost short enough to be flash fiction, as it’s under 1,000 words.
