I will leave the page up as there is a lot of material in the archive (over 500 poems, flash, and short stories) written over the last five months or so.

People are welcome to reach out via DM should they have a wish for something, or if interested in working on a collaboration; I’d still like to create, but it can’t be the main of what I do for the foreseeable future - maybe I’ll be back on a non-inquiry basis next year.

I will still get to read those I subscribe to, as emails will continue to flow to my personal inbox and in select cases, I’d be happy to stay in touch with people via email, or other mechanisms.

I do have a post scheduled, and I’ll let that drop at the regular time tonight, but that will be the last post, unlike when I took some space to think about things when I continued to post daily although my comments and notes were limited.

So until our paths cross again, be safe, be well, and I will miss you.
You and your talent will be missed. I always looked forward to your posts. Good luck with everything and take care.
As I sort thru 4dozen new e-mails and leave my novel unintended I wonder if you have the right idea.best of luck with your writing
