Odds’n’Ends
Be careful not to trip. This is where I store previously unpublished — or barely published — writing about stuff that interests me.
Our attics are full of things we want to keep but can’t figure out where to put. So I’m putting some stuff here — castoff things, like old pole lamps, dusty Bowflex benches and chapters from books that were never written.
In my attic you’ll find some writing projects that didn’t work out. I abandoned most of these things, but can’t bear to get rid of them. I hope you find something to enjoy.
