Inkslinger Magazine Newsletter #10
October 2022
Hello dear readers! Welcome back to yet another monthly newsletter with a compilation of all the stuff I’ve written over the month of October — including an About Me piece that’s been popular, published by About Me Stories, and 10 other Non-Fiction pieces (mainly psychology and mental health based). I’ve also published 3 poems and 31 pieces of contemplative stories from my ‘what if’ series (and you can find all 119 pieces so far, here).
I’ll start off with the Non-Fiction and poetry, then get into the whack of What Ifs. So without further ado, I hope you find some things you enjoy in my monthly newsletter!
Thanks for reading (and following and engaging!). I appreciate all of you. 💖
