About This Newsletter

The last couple of years have been stressful. I've moved from an appartment to a long-term care facility. This means rearranging my goals and learning to type on a tablet.


Letter from the editor

The thing I like about January is that it is named after a Roman god with two faces. One face looks toward the past and the other toward the future. This means I can look at my past goals and decide which I want to keep. It also means I can find new goals.

Considering I only have a tablet and smartphone, I will do most of my research online. That's alright. This year I want to get back to writing science fiction and fantasy poems. I also want to make blog entries and review.

Please write a story about a creature with two faces. One face looks forward and one backward. How does the creature feel? How does it survive?

Do you have any questions? Do you have any suggestions?
