Why subscribe?

As the title says, I am showfolk. Let me entertain you. I am at my best when I’m creating something to show – a piece of writing, a song, a book, an album, a live performance. I’ve been honing my chops a few decades now, and I work hard to deliver quality goods.

When an audience enjoys my work, it’s quite the win-win. The prospect of folks awaiting a missive from me spurs me to put into words the countless as-yet-unwritten posts in my head. I’m talking memoir, travelogues, videos, music, screeds, valentines, lyrics, works-in-progress, and expressions that will hopefully brighten the corners.

I write what I know, but I also write what I do not know, or rather what I do not yet consciously know. Or, as genius Flannery O’Connor succinctly put it, “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” If you fancy joining me on this discovery, by all means do. It’s a pleasure to have you.

I’ve recently added paid subscription options, which you can check out here. If you’d like to make a donation, please mosey over to here and/or here, and know I am deeply grateful.

How Often Will I Darken Your Door?

I’m shooting for one dispatch every week to ten days. Feel free to complain if I’m late, and, barring something cataclysmic, I will get my act together.
