Updates on Inner Pages

My day began windy but promised a sunny afternoon. Instead, it became all blue. I felt the different shades of blue when I saw the news of Marjane Satrapi’s passing. I may not have been the greatest reader of hers. But I adored her work, her mind and what she has stood for. Rest in peace, Marjane. I hope you have met with your loved one instead of your old childhood friend, the god.

I have mentioned before that I was working on, or more likely just thinking about, changing the newsletter a little bit. My brightest ideas still haven’t arrived yet, but I have my blank paper in front of me, and holding my fountain pen in my left hand, my fingers have already got ink all over. So, it's only a matter of time before I come up with a new concept. Maybe even a new name?

My issue with Inner Pages is that it became perhaps overly romantic, dramatic, or too much? It comes from somewhere I used to like so much, but right now I feel like It belongs to the previous me. Just a year, I am very aware of it, but still, there is a necessity of change. I live for a good old feng shui attack.

If you have anything in your mind about this change, as one of my loyal readers, I'd love to hear what you think. Honestly, It would be a torch lighting the way.

I’m asking you for two long weeks for me to figure out the newer version of Inner Pages. I’m so sorry, but the weather is not weathering in my favour. My slow-processor brain is extra slow when the heat hits. So, I need a little bit of time.

At the same time, I’m working on some fiction, the ebook version of my short story, and a few personal essays about body hair, procrastination, and hating summer as a fat boy. Yeah, personal stuff.

Don’t give me the ick. You enjoy reading this kind of thing, and honestly, sharing these struggles and insecurities is partly how I make peace with them. If I can write about them, I can live with them.

So, we’re good.

Next Thursday I am going to have my very first appointment with the nutritionist. Let’s see how aggressive I’ll be since I won’t be able to eat anything aggressively. Wish me luck with this weight loss journey. I think I’ll need it.
