What you can expect at Writing + Art!

This is your one-stop location to find out what this newsletter is all about.

The 3 Niches

1. Non-Fiction

I write stories about my past and present. These can be funny or serious. I’ve written a whole lot about my life. I’ve written so many stories that I’m running out of ideas. Is it possible to run out? You can only go through so many life experiences and write about it. Every once in awhile, I’ll read about another topic and it will remind me of something else to write about in my past.

2. Fiction (Section called Fiction LaunchPad 🚀)

I love creating stories from scratch. Give me a sentence, something that has happened or a scenario and I can write about anything. This is how I got started writing in the first place. I’m back writing fiction now after having taken a break from it.

I can take anything and run with it. For example, I took a real-world incident from someone on Substack and ran with it. An 845-word story has now become over 11,000 words and counting. I’m going to have to end this story (The Woman on the Train) sometime this year. I don’t have time to continue it.

3. Abstract Art – (Section called Abstract Art 🖼️)

My monthly update went bye-bye. I’m painting so much I don’t have time to post a monthly update. I’m planning on activating a new newsletter specifically for my art when a certain thing happens. I’ll post something on this newsletter when it goes live.

How often do you write

This has changed since life has taken over. It is now whenever I get a chance. I have even more on my plate coming up in the next month (July 2025). I wanted to keep it weekly but that’s not possible.

I want to hear from you

Drop me a DM and say hi.

Collaboration

Heck yes! I’m open to collaborating with other writers and artists.

I hope you enjoy your stay here!
