45 subscribers, maybe 8 open the email and 1 reads something. I'm a success!
Hello Readers-who-opened-the-email,
I love you.
I thought about ranting about my piss-poor showing on this weekly newsletter endeavor and then I realized that one of my 45 subscribers actually opens the email and clicks on a story.
That is so great!
It was after I checked the handy dandy analytics tool here and found that one person did click on a story last week that I thought of the other ridiculously simple things I count as victories.

And while we're talking about successes, thanks to AleXander's interesting suggestion for a daily writing project, I successfully completed my January fictional obituaries. That's right. For 31 consecutive days I invented a life for a random, non-existent person and then killed them and wrote about it. Isn't being a writer fabulous?

And look! Another success! This one got curated by Medium in Society which means that it's going to possibly get more reads and earn me another buck or two. I'm on FIRE!

We had a party here at Chez Frontenac for my birthday and by the end of the evening, as the silliness quotient rose, several friends began laughing about certain bizarre post-coital conversations. The one where the guy starts out with "Well, you know, I've done some acting myself" got the most laughs. AleXander took it upon himself to create a fictionalized account of that incident. Enjoy!

So to the eight to ten of you who opened the email and the four or so who made it this far, BRAVO! And I humbly thank you who has given up precious minutes of your finite life to read my work. Wow.
As ever, feel free to throw compliments, suggestions, random insults to: Remington.Write@gmail.com
Let's do this again next week!
