I've posted a new Dispatch regarding my rookie efforts to write a book. Short version: Rather than try to do a big ass epic novel I'm going to write short stories for now. It's my way to overcoming imposter syndrome and writer's block. beturpin.substack.com/p/dispatch-1...

I've posted a new Dispatch at beturpin.substack.com about my forthcoming someday book "The Other Side of the Sun". Be kind please, I'm still trying to figure out Bluesky (and the whole author thing).
