With a scorching summer right around the corner, I wanted to share some news. It’s been incredible to run this blog and not only to have expressed myself honestly, but to have shared it with readers who are invested in my writing.
But all good things must come to an end.
Share the memories one last time…because it’s time to make room for something new! As May comes to a close, I’m excited to share the first edition of Persuasion Tactics as a magazine!
Volume 1 presents the highlights of the posts I’ve made here and emailed to you all over the past couple months. I’m calling it my personal literary magazine: a place to compile my prose, essays, and artwork for a given season. Everything concentrated into one place.
And while it’s time for me to wrap up what I’ve done for the spring, I’m excited to get started on Volume 2 for the summer. Posts, emails, successes, failures, I plan to continue it all.
It’s part of giving myself permission to experiment in public.
When I sent out an article in an email blast or even let my posts sit on my website without notifying anyone, it was a chance for me to observe, listen to, and appreciate the reactions I got. And now, I hope you enjoy reading the Spring 2026 volume, linked here for you.
If you’d like a personal copy in your inbox, just let me know and I’m happy to send one over! Otherwise, you can read it online from the link above. Thank you for your readership, and I hope you enjoy getting to take a closer look at my work.
And by the way, you can always find the web versions of my past posts here.
