#1: A waggish tale of a serious writer
Share

Welcome to my newsletter, A Whimsical Writer.

Dictionary defines the word “whimsical” as “playfully quaint or fanciful, especially in an appealing and anmusing way.” But the word "whimsical" comes from "whim." A “whim” is a sudden desire to do something. But to do something unusual, or unexpected? Yeah. A whim or like, sudden capricious desires.

So I suddenly had a desire to start a newsletter on Substack, about which I know nothing, without any plan or idea what I want to talk about.

All I know is I am sick of being serious and I want to have fun with myself and my writing.

Drawing a sketch might take care of fun side, or so I think.

I also write on Medium, LinkedIn and on my website.
