Now we get to just have winter!
Hello, hello Readers One and All,
Have we all got all that tinsel and sugar out of the way? Are your sidewalks piled up with dead fir trees that some genius spent $80 on two weeks ago? Our are!
Doesn’t it feel great to have all that over and done with? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thanks to AleXander I have a daily writing project which I started on 1 January: daily fictional obituaries. They’re trickier than you’d think and some, sadly, read like an ordinary obituary. But then, maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Even fictional lives deserve to be remembered in a dignified way; don’t you think?
Here are the first seven and you get to say if you want more or not:

A couple of days ago, I also took a fifteen minute break from a longer piece I was writing to scribble down this bon bon which has hit over 1,000 claps in three days. Unprecedented!

And then there was this baby that got a double curation (Beauty and Women)! Will it make me any money? Who knows but it was fun to write.
