Taking Notes By Andy Sporring - Issue #79

Hi!

November is here, and I'm participating in both NaNoWriMo and NaPodPoMo. Will it blend? ;) I might be in over my head, but I feel strongly that I want to grow as both a writer as well as a Podcaster.

There is also a rumor That Elon Musk will cancel Revue, so I will move this newsletter to another platform as soon as possible. So when that happens, I will let you know ahead of the move.

Four Things I Got Excited About This Week ☀️

  1. I started to work on my crime novel; the Working title is"End Of Summer 2022."

  2. I decided to join NaPodPoMo, too. Is it a mistake? Only time can tell.

  3. Focusing on those two and keeping up with writing Essays. Essays are my foundation for me, and I can't let them go as I passed my 300th essay this week!

  4. Another milestone that was reached this week concerning my mental health was my first visit to a dentist in 12 years.
