My ghostwriting* seems to have picked up this year, which has been good for my career in terms of providing income, but it does mean I can’t share my recent work with you. In fact, later this year may be the release of the first full-length business book I’ll have ghostwritten but be contractually obligated not to proudly share with people, so that’s an interesting new experience.

No worries, I’ve always got my columns to share with you. I wrote a little seriously about countering hate with love, and a lot less seriously about my own competition for most annoying thing in my March Badness brackets. And it’s about to be April, which I’m kicking off by hosting a comedy open mic on April 1st, followed by hitting my usual poetry mic the next night. And that kicks off National Poetry Month, during which I’ll be writing 30 poems as part of the 30/30 challenge.**

Plus earlier this week I cooked an octopus and made soup out of it. All in all, things are looking up.

*Still not ghostwriting any paranormal romance though, even though those jobs make me laugh every time I see them. I wonder, do the people posting them laugh about ghost-writing, or are they inured to the joke? And how would they feel about even worse paranormal romance jokes, like nice ghouls vamping?

**Which you are welcome to join! Yes, you! Even if you don’t consider yourself a poet!
