Musings Of Sporring - Issue #30

July 10, 2021

Hi again! This past week I have finally reached my goal to write 31 articles in 31 days, and as a fun fact: This newsletter is my number 31 (When I include the special edition). Little did I know how much fun I should have, doing both the challenge and this newsletter. The newsletter adds another dimension to my writing, a dimension I can't really pursue in my writing.

The next issue will be published in two weeks. So I'm returning to my biweekly format again.

A Journal Of Thoughts

  1. Working in the garden, and getting my hands dirty has been a blessing. Maybe I after all have green fingers?

  2. Sometimes rain can be a blessing, no strike that; Rain is a blessing!

  3. Right now I have drafts of more than 90 new articles, I'm guessing half of them will be scratched and a final 35 will end up as published articles.

  4. My morning 'koffice' (about two) hours are my creative hours, I try to use them the most effective way!
