About NJ’s Literature & Philosophy

Welcome to my Substack, my office on the internet. I write unfiltered to encourage & uplift, and cater to those with a sense of humor. I aim to spark meaningful conversations by sharing poetry, musings, reflections on literary craft, publishing & grant opportunities, writing contest, and intimate insights into my life as a novelist, poet, and modern homesteader.
