Congratulations Aimee on the 3-year anniversary! I admire your steadfastness and your enterprising spirit in taking this newsletter to a new height and depth. I'm forever a grateful student of yours, even though I haven't been able to participate in the past few months. I'm so happy to see how this community has grown and hope one day when my life situation improves I can jump back in. Sending my warmest wishes to another great year at MFA Lore 💕

Congratulations Aimee!! Thank you for all of your wonderful work and contributions! I’ve been on a writing hiatus since my daughter was born, but I can’t wait to get back to it as soon as I can!

Many thanks and congratulations, Summer! Babies are the best kind of writing hiatus! Don't rush back--savor every second!!!!

Love and health to you all💖

Dear Aimee, congratulations! Three years is a long time to continue to plan, research, write and publish. I am sure that your subscribers have hugely benefited from your advice and support.

Thank you so much for the mention, although I no longer publish Motley Stories. However, for the past year I have been editing and publishing out-of-copyright and little known short stories. If anyone would like to improve their writing, reading some beautifully written short stories is beneficial (as well as subscribing to MFA Lore). Find me @newcoatsforoldtales.

PS

Sorry Aimee, I won’t take advantage of your excellent offer. I am a reader not a writer. I am in awe of people who have the imagination and skill to write fiction, but I am content to read the result of all that hard work. But I still love to read your public posts.

Thank you for all you do! The new old story project sounds wonderful. I will check it out 🙏🏼

Upgraded. That's an offer I can't refuse.

Yes, I’ll plan to be there. You’ll send a zoom link?

Yes! I’ll email the link toward the end of the week.

Thanks so much, Mona!

Speaking of which, do you know Whidbey Island’s @Richard Pelletier ? If not, I think you two would find much in common!

Thank you. Look at you being a connector. :) Waving from Whidbey.

I recognize your name, Richard. I’m not as active on Substack as maybe I should be, but I do have a social media presence, and IRL too. ;~)
