Howdy,
I had a couple of questions, a couple things to add, and just some general sunshine-y shit to throw in here.
Bidness First:
Some questions about a feed for this site. Try:
https://www.helpfulsnowman.com/?feed=rss2
Let me know if that works. I can probably add more description and whatnot to the feed as well.

I mentioned a project on the show and then couldn’t remember the URL because, well, it’s a really stupid URL. Here it is, and remember, this is Not Safe For Work. But I think you’ll get a chuckle out of it.

By the way, this is mostly populated by lady selfies. I have no problem posting men selfies too, I just don’t, uh, tumbl across them as much. But send me links, I’ll do ’em up.

Pete’s Unsent Love Letters is live once again. Some new stuff, some old stuff. Although don’t be fooled, when I say “old” I mean very much revised and made nicer. Almost unrecognizable. Here’s a sample of what they look like before getting put back up again:
There will also be some nice, visually-oriented stuff as well. So don’t worry, I’m not trying to cheat you into reading the same garbage twice. It’s NEW garbage!

Because it’s my hope to make a book from Pete’s Unsent Love Letters AND a selection of lost Helpful Snowman posts in 2014, I’ll be starting a new feature on this site related to some thoughts about writing. I considered starting a new blog to keep it separate, then figured, fuck it.
Give it a chance. I’ll do my bestest to make it something fun to read. You might enjoy it. And remember, I KNOW that I’m not an accomplished writer. Believe me, I’m aware.

Barehanded, a poetry chapbook manuscript I worked up a while back, is back on the site. It’s not hard to find, so happy hunting -OR- if you really want to help out a site, if you feel like all of it’s been worth a dollar to you (about 40-cents for yours truly), cruise over to Amazon.com and buy the thing for use on your Kindle, Kindle app, or basically any electronic device. This is really the only piece of anything that’s available for purchase, so it won’t hurt my feelings if you go ahead and buy it.

Okay, now the fuzzies.
Lately I’ve had a really nice outpouring of just dynamite things people have said online or to me in person about the show, the site, or just other things in general. It’s been very sweet, and my Grinch Heart is handling about all it can take without busting, which I’m pretty sure would make me dead.
Thanks to all of you for the continued support, and I sure hope to bring lots of laughs in the future.
