Dear Kid,
Do you know what was happening 5 years ago today? DearKidLoveMom was being launched.
That’s not entirely accurate. I’d written a couple of posts earlier in April, but the 16th was the first day of continuous posting.
Some of the letters have been fun to Write; some have been painful (most of those never got published). Some were super easy to write; others refused to take shape no matter how much I stared at a blank screen. Some were really good; others got less stellar reviews.
Now, approximately 1,733 letters later, you are Approaching graduation and I am approaching a crossroads (more of a starfish-roads): Has DKLM reached its natural end? Do I keep writing? Do we move in a somewhat different direction? Or schedule? And what about Naomi? (You’re probably not old enough to get that obscure reference. The Electric Company was a show that was sort of the graduate level of Sesame Street. There was a segment on Electric Company that was a play on a soap opera which always ended with the question [that was in no way related to anything] “And what about Naomi?”])
So what do you think? Opinions, thoughts, comments, brilliant insights, and weird puns welcome.
