ABOUT MY DAILY WRITING
I have written something unique every single day since January 1, 2011. I started this project six years after completing my MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College because I noticed I wasn't making enough time to work on my first true love: the written word. To keep my creativity sharp and active, I made my first-ever New Year's Resolution to write every day for one year. 2020 marks the tenth year in a row I have re-upped this promise to myself. I truly love my craft and can't imagine not taking the time to write every day. I am so thankful for the sparking of this idea at the end of 2010 and am humbled and honored by all of you who have supported, urged, and inspired my work along the way.
Starting in Summer 2020, audio version of my daily writing are included -- so if reading isn't your "thing" but you'd be down to listen to me read my work to you, then that is now an option! My pal Rebecca calls this level-up my "Blogcast" and I thank her brilliant mind for bringing such a term to my attention.

SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS for I SPY in 2020:
1) Pay for one month. With this option, you can hop in at any point during a calendar month and read as much (or as little) as you like until the start of the next month. ((You'll get the most "bang for your buck" if you subscribe early in the month, though, since subscribers are re-set on the 1st of every month.)) Cost: $5
2) Pay in January for the whole year. With this option, you can read every day in 2020 without having to think about re-upping your subscription. How fab is that??? Cost: $60.
3) Pay in bulk in your own custom amount. With this option, you can pay up front for as many months as you want. There is no bulk discount, so it would be 5 x [insert number of months you'd like to subscribe]. Ex: If you wanted to subscribe for three months, the cost would be $15.
4) Pay according to a sliding scale. With this option, you can pay what you can afford. The amount is up to you. The suggestion remains $5/month, but if you need to pay less, pay less. If you are able to pay more, bless you -- and go for it. Cost: up to you!

ARCHIVE of PAST BLOG PROJECTS
* there is a one-time $20 acCess fee to visit these archived blogs *
2019 - Today's Special. This blog was all me and focused on what was special to me each day.
2018 - What's It Called. Here, I asked friends to write titles that I would use to inspire each day's post.
2017 - Inspired. This project initially was to be propelled by what inspired all of you, but I went rogue and spent the year writing about what inspired me. The writing from this project is some of my personal career favorite.
2016 - ABC's. Each day had a featured letter for participants to use to send me words that started with that letter. While many of these posts turned out great, the poetry yielded by this premise is some of my best.
2015 - Sing-Along. Friends gave me songs they liked and I used that music to inspire my daily writing. Check out the Spotify playlist of every song used.
2014 - The Untitled Blog. Written choose-your-own-adventure-style, this project defied gravity, had a fiercely loyal readership who all voted daily on what would happen next, and the end result was an actual novel. I have no idea how I pulled off this magic trick, but I am immensely proud of this piece of fiction, now available in a two-part novel called A Somerville Love Story.
2013 - Triple Play. Folks gave me any three things they wanted and I incorporated them into a piece of writing.
2012 - With a Little Help From My Friends. This all-fiction blog had friends writing the first lines of short stories and me writing the rest. I selected my 50 favorites from this project and compiled them into a a collection called Sobriety (And 49 Other Fine Stories).
2011 - Three Hundred Sixty-Five for Twenty-Eleven. The "OG" blog. This one was all me and had no broader theme then write every day.
