Fifty-Two Mini-Essays

A little while ago I decided that in order to stay sane in the coming year, I was going to promise myself 30 minutes of fun writing every day. So I started a little project: 52 short (funny-ish) essays, one a week. I solicited (random/goofy/serious) topics from friends and have committed to writing an essay on the first 51 topics suggested (I supplied the first one).

I’m posting the essays on Substack each Sunday: the first one is here. You can subscribe (for free!) using the button at the top of any post.
