What comes after goo?

Readers,

First the short—

I am going fully unhinged poet. You can find my new, poetry-only publication here on Substack:

I am not importing any subscribers from The Late Magician to my new publication because that would be assuming you are into poetry and you know what they say about assumptions. I prefer my readership to be free range.

If you are interested, please subscribe.

Now the (not too) long—

I’ve hemmed and hawed about the direction of my writing since the beginning of the year but remained fickle on the decision making. Without going into a rant about everything else writing/writer oriented, I am simply tired of all the telling and explaining. Our grievances and insanity find new highs daily and the takes are legion.

I just want to bleed the feels.

And I want to spend time world building. I’ve neglected my fiction children and I mean to remedy that.

When the world is running down, imagine new worlds.

In my last post, I asked readers to take a short survey about my writing for feedback but no one took it. So, don’t come complaining about the rearranging and spin-offs! 😉 I’m not sure what will become of The Late Magician. It may become the exclusive home for my fictional work but I haven’t decided.

Make of all this what you will.

My Crimes of Meter & Rhyme still needs some site polishing, but it’s live and I’m publishing two poems a week. Sundays are for new poetry and Wednesdays feature previously published material that has been edited to some degree. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.

I hope you’ll join me at my new publication. The Late Magician will stay published, but there won’t be much activity here, if any, until I figure out its fate. And that might be a while.

Stay sassy in the face of fuck,

—C
