I’m Erik Deci. I was born in New Orleans, served in the Army, spent seventeen years in New York and now live in Miami. I write personal essays about the people and places that shaped me, and I’m working on three memoirs.

Here’s what to expect: when I publish a new essay, it comes to your inbox. That’s it. No schedule I can’t keep, no sales pitches, no filler.

If you’re new here, these are good places to start:

I Don’t Even Look Up Anymore
Miami is the craziest place I’ve ever lived. It’s also where my life got quiet.

The essays are free and I want to keep them that way. If you’d like to help with the memoirs and the cost of running the site, you can support my writing on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/erikdeci

And if something I write stays with you, reply and tell me. I read everything.

Thanks for reading.

Erik
