Hello, everyone. We’re almost halfway through August, and no significant cooldown in sight here. As monsoon seasons go, this seems like a dry one.

Trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Trying to choose which bridges to cross… and which to avoid.

D’unes parlan o escrivon pel plaser d’ausir lor pròpria votz. Pasmens, qualques autors, ieu tanben, escrivon pel besonh d’èsser ausit, lo besonh de partejar d’istòrias e de creativitat.

Los mots que partegi poirián èsser novèls e charradisses. O mos mots poirián demandar vòstra ajuda. Fòrça còps son destinats a vos inspirar. Totjorn, mas paraulas venon de mon còr.

De còps vòstra responsa ajuda a formar mon futur escrich. D’autres còps vòstres comentaris me donan de retroaccion demandada. Totjorn, me fan anar. Alara, saber que legissètz çò qu’ai escrich es important per ieu.
Afectuosament, Teagan
