Breathing and Kissing Again
Happy reading, and see you next week for a little surprise!
Dear Reader,
Every day I look for a way to slow down time, to enjoy my books and writing more, but I haven’t found the solution yet. And at the same time, like many of us I think, I’m looking forward to the New Year and see what it holds for me.
Well, what’s certain is that it has in store the first book of poetry by the writers of Scribe, that’s good enough, isn’t it? On the other hand, it would be a good thing if 2021 chased away the pandemic, that we could breathe and embrace each other again.
Speaking of which, I’ve just published a very moving story by Karie Luidens, Pixels in the Dark. Offer her your readings.
If you follow the Medium updates, you have probably read this article written by Abby Aker about a new feature that I find particularly interesting and which will help to strengthen the relations between readers and readers.
This is the possibility as a writer to send a nicely designed email (by checking a box when publishing) to our readers to alert them when a new story is published. Not all of our readers are always connected to Medium, and this new feature is one more way to deepen our relationship with them.
So read Abby’s story and run to my profile to press the Subscribe button and receive an email every time I post a new story, then activate the option in your account settings so I can do the same!
In the meantime, this week, I was pleased to introduce the pen of Helena Toto. I hope you enjoyed reading her six poems: Till Then I’ll Wait. My Sin. Imposter Syndrome. Incantation. Dad’s Ghost. Lithium.
Until next Sunday, I have the honor to give the floor to Jonah Lightwhale, a fantastic poet for whom I had a real crush (and I’m not the only one). Take the time to immerse yourself in his poems, and tell me what you think! And then, taste his first poems published on Scribe: The Winged Dragon Train. The Ghost of Anna’s Grandmother.
For my part, I wrote a poem, Meaning, and I share what I had on my heart about a certain style of writing: Heartfelt Cries.
As always, I leave you with your weekly digest and the beautiful readings or rereadings that await you.
Thank you for being here, and for making Scribe so brilliant. And… see you next weekend with a little surprise! ♥︎
