Acid Christmas felt truly fresh to me. And I am over that traditionally published stuff now. Glad I didn't end up going that route. Glad that whatever comes next--I can do whatever I want. That's always worked best for me. I did great in IT because people all designed what they were taught to design and I always designed what I imagined because no education in that field. Made me very successful. But I do like work that has been polished to a shine. You still need to do that part before sending it out into the world.
I did go to tech school for 6 months to learn to code, but that was it. No degree. I was just telling friends the other night a story of a cross country trip with my then husband, how we met, and seeing Alice Coltrane play in SF at a North Beach jazz club in her first concert after her husband, John died. Carlos Santana was with her, giving her support. He did not perform. She played piano. It was a small club in 1975. They asked the first 4 rows in the club not to smoke because it bothered Alice. lol.

I totally agree that the non writers are sometimes the best writers!!!!!! Thanks for this one Charlotte!

I’ve got a novel eating my storage space on Google drive and doing little else.
I think it’s good, but I sense that without a larger substack following, a professional editor and an agent, it won’t go anywhere.
Thanks for this push to dream bigger.
Well that’s not right. Maybe “to dream more medium”. Haha.
Love this!
