Getting Sassy in 2024
I've been thinking about Prince Harry's Todger and other upcoming articles!
I am out of prison! Whew! Yep, there was a coup by the Christmas rebels, and Christmas is once more legal again. I will never have to say Happy Holidays again! What a relief. Silver fox Nick is still mad at me but I delivered some milk and cookies (also legal once more) to his address at the North Pole and now he’s getting his Christmas on once more. I’m hoping a few chocolate chip sweeties will put me back on his nice list so we can get naughty in 2024! (Those who read my last publication will get this reference)
Anyway, it’s nearly a new year and by the time you get this scheduled post your intrepid protagonist (that’s me) will have just returned from a fabulous holiday in Charlottetown, PEI where I will have witnessed the delights of an international student enjoying her first Canadian Christmas and played Dungeons and Dragons with brilliant university students. (You know you’ve done something right as a parent when your 18 year old asks you to play DnD with her, her 20 year old sister and sister’s 20-something friends). I am the cool mom. I have the cool kids.)
Mostly though, I’ll be thinking about the upcoming year and my plans. I’m going all in in this publication, The Sass. It’s time I tossed myself out there in the world in a real way, filled my empty nest time with a full creative life. I’ve set goals, I’ve made a plan but I’ve also created a system for achieving all of it.
Here are the potential titles of exclusive articles I have in mind.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Prince Harry’s todger (how word choice can impact meaning in prose)
Piers Morgan and other nonsense (Narrative vs Story in media)
If my ex-husband dies does that make me a widow and other brilliant literature from the comment sections.
It’s time to cut the umbiblical cord and other malapropisms. Fun with wrong words.
So I was sitting around thinking about other people’s genitals, a commentary on pronouns.
Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood and other shit writers.
This kind of content is only for the sassiest amongst us. If it isn’t the vibe you’re looking for, don’t worry, there will be a regular free newsletter to all my friends who want to be part of this community.
The exciting thing is that as of January first there will be content available exclusively to paid subscribers. I have to because despite only starting this newsletter a week ago, and already have one, and I’m going to give her the same content as if she is one of 1000 subscribers!
I’m also excited to get to work with her in 2024 because she paid for an annual subscription so we’re going to consult and she’s going to get personal feedback on her writing. I’m excited about that too.Meanwhile, I’ll be here in the new year, rarin’ to go and I am really hoping you’ll be here too for a fun romp through 2024 where we talk about reading, writing and living because the latter nourishes all of it!
Happy New Year!
