Ironically, since I ghosted you at the end of 2023, it's only fair that I reboot my newsletter on Ghost. Things will be different, starting with a shorter name.

✅ The weekly format was a killer. The new newsletter has no schedule.

✅ Supporters can become paid members.

✅ The printable puzzles will be weirder

New Name

I removed the "Brain Dump" from the newsletter title, primarily because I emptied my brain onto the page in 2023. The new, shorter title reflects the more general approach that I'll be taking to writing.

Frequency

While I had a blast creating a weekly newsletter, that frequency meant that it was a full-time job, especially during the times when I created downloadable PDFs.

This meant that my puzzle book publishing schedule was placed on the back-burner. And that made me sad. 😥

I decided to focus on puzzle books and to keep you updated periodically.

Paid Memberships

Several lovely subscribers pledged to support my newsletter. I now have ideas to thank you for such support:

• My long form essays will be just for you
• Any printables that normally cost a few dollars will be available at no charge
• You will be the first to hear about my wildest creations
• Finally, you'll have access to new features that I won't post publicly.

Weird New Puzzles

During the short life of the 2023 newsletter, I discovered that readers really liked the weird puzzles, whether I had made them up or had discovered them online.

I think it will be more fun and enjoyable to read about off-beat puzzles and mash-ups (my signature move in the books that I create.)

If this sounds like fun, please take a moment to join me on Ghost.
