So glad you have signed up to receive the For Random Learning Comes Newsletter! This is the seventy-fifth edition.

Previous editions can be found on the blog's Newsletter page. I send it out weekly, so if you don't get my email on Saturday morning, please let me know! (Check your junk and spam folders too.)
|
This week, the blog post is long and the newsletter short.
|
The first post attached is called A Literary Citizen, and it discusses all the ways we can and should support writers in our local communities. I know some of you are already very active literary citizens but I have not been active in that realm for quite a while, and I kind of have to talk myself into it.
|
The second entry this week is a spoof on the old Gilbert and Sullivan song, "Modern Major General." It is called The Very Model. In my version, a writer is bragging about his feats of literary citizenship. Hope you enjoy the silliness.
|
That's all for this week. See you next time around!
