Hello, hello…
Hi, y’all. I am still in the midst of publishing what has turned into a pretty intense and personal body of writing for ‘Beta Reading’ by paid supporters.
It’s… ooof… a lot.
(Beta Readers, feel free to back me up here…)
While I’m soon to have more to publish here as well, thought I’d make a little intermission from that series public since it’s light and can be read without having read the rest.
Thought I’d explain so the ‘Intermission’ title and notes to Beta Readers make sense to folks not reading along on that larger project.
If you enjoy Mike's writing please become a paid subscriber. I have never read anything so raw, painful and beautiful it is artwork. This is the life story of our friend. Someday he will win a Pulitzer. I always said he should write a book. I thought he wrote well. This is better than my wildest dreams.
Do not deny yourself any longer...
One of the stories left me sitting with my mouth agape. I sat like that for close to an hour. I had no idea what I had done the beginning of the day. The only thing that mattered is what I just read and how it made me feel.
Another story left me breathless. It was that all encompassing. Can you imagine reading something so beautifully written you had to remind yourself to breathe?
I promise you will thank me for encouraging you to become a paid subscriber.
Ditto what CH and SteveTheCat said. I have two books sitting on my bedroom floor (a fiction and a nonfiction) that are both well known authors and known to be good reads. They have sat there unopened since I started reading Mike.
His stories have made me smile, helped me see some things from a new perspective, kept me awake, caused some tears and held breaths. I am so engaged.
When his book is a best seller we will say TOLD YOU SO!!
