Love Camus & The Stranger! 💙
Albert Camus (1913-60)
Born in Algeria, he moved to Paris in 1940 and finished 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 as tanks rolled into the city.

"A writer cannot put himself today in the service of those who make history; he is at the service of those who suffer it."

It has taken me *months*, but the (first iteration of the) website is up and online. Still much to do--like making a plain language contract--but baby press, baby steps!

Today’s Moment In Micropressing:

- Making sure I can pub on at least 3 social accounts at once.
- Realizing some of this venture is going to require math.

Canva achievement unlocked: An animated grackle. Yeah, that's right: I've named him Cackle the Grackle.

Now, if I could only turn this into a million dollars.

(The grackles would prefer a million corn chips.)
