Issue 62 — Rachel Allen Keeps the Love of Writing Alive

Hello Friends,

I’m not a big fan of summer, but this year is different. I’m grateful for the fuzzy nature of summertime. We’ve had an eventful last few months, too eventful really, with medical challenges in my family and a round of Covid, so it’s been good to lower expectations and have some open time.

I’m calling it a wrap on this first season of The FutureX Podcast. I’m beginning, in a fuzzy summertime way, to plan season two of the show.

Since Elon Musk renamed Twitter to “X,” I’ve had an identity crisis about the “X” in FutureX. I started shopping for other URLs and went into a quiet sort of panic mode. I realized that FutureX hasn’t been the perfect name for this project. The “X” suggests an unknown future; but the future is ours to shape.
