Hello, friends.

I'm B.A. Burgess, a writer, writing facilitator, and hobby collector.

This is my personal log - an account of my writing, reading, and learning.

Every other Sunday, I send out the Sunday Dispatch. It's a short note (henceforth referred to as a digital postcard), project announcements, and links to posts you may have missed.

Thank you for visiting. Joining the mailing list if you're moved to. Until next time, Be Excellent to Each Other.

-B.A. Burgess
