🎄 It is Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas
Christmas is fast approaching; there is nothing like seeing the joy on a child’s face when they open their first advent door. But, as an adult, I must admit that once the doors start opening, we rush headlong into Christmas.
I have to say I am more than ready for it; there have been a lot of tough cases I am working with on my main hustle, so a break will do me good—a time to chill with the family and read some good books.
Next year, I have decided to write more books and fewer articles, except for my site, Murder Mayhem UK. The problem with these content sites, such as Medium and Newsbreak, is someone always needs wages from the company before they pay their writers. Unfortunately, if recent statistics on both sites are to be believed, those wages are taking an ever-increasing share of our money.
I am done with working all the hours for cents hence the move to books and concentrating on Murder Mayhem. NaNoWriMo also gave me the bug to write longer pieces rather than short articles. Speaking of NaNoWriMo, here is my final word count from November 30th.
If you enjoy this email, please share it so that more readers can find it.
Until next week stay safe
Sam 😊
