January 2020 in Review – All My Writing in One Place

The goal was to produce a weekly post of all of my writing around the web. Life had other plans. I’m a tax preparer, and tax season has taken over my life.

Instead, I hope to produce a monthly listing of my writing and where you can find it. Here’s a list of everything I published in January 2020.

Note: Any Medium links are friend/free read links.

A few times a month, I like to publish posts that highlight three resonating articles by other writers. Dragons, Depression, and Depth - 3 Stories to Read is one of those articles. If you read only one story from the list, make sure it’s the one by Dan Rojas. All three are worth your reading time.

February and March may be light months for new stories, but I’ll be posting as I can. The best way to keep up with me is to subscribe to my newsletter. Most Sundays, I send out some encouragement for better living and a list of what I wrote for the week. Rarely do I send out over one email per week. I’d hate to see you go, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

Until next time, keep fighting.
