Oh, congratulations to Jean on her new book! Sadly, I lost touch with her a few years ago, and it seems she doesn't have a substack, so please pass along my congratulations to her, if you would. And now, Oleg, when is it your turn?

Lol, it's not my sin. It's the existence of all the poetry ever written, past and future!

Well that I hear. I have a similar situation with regard to songwriting.

You have really hit your newsletter stride! Love the addition of the flash fiction--I missed that it was fiction at first even though you warned us! :)

your posts are totally addicting especially with the added links, each styled like a hug slice of life (thought about writing a cozy mystery?) -- & now I'm blaming you for reading instead of getting to work lol

Thanks, Daal! I'm glad you're enjoying them. I'll take the blame for keeping you from your work, though I hope I can also inspire it to be better once you get to it!
