Welcome back to the new and improved Words with Wynn, a collection of my Ponderings, Panderings, & Everything in between…
Some Background and Expectations for the uninitiated:
Background:
For as long as I’ve been a reader, I’ve been a lover of words and a collector of quotations. What initially began as sticky notes covering my desk wall eventually became an archive of thousands of quotations, poems, passages, and articles gathered in a Google Doc. Eventually, I wanted a project that would force me to reengage with all the wisdom I’d been hoarding. Words with Wynn’s initial manifestation was a daily quotation dropped into the inboxes of a few close friends. It was a fun means of sharing the little nuggets I’d gathered, but they didn’t always resonate with my audience, given the lack of context and varying nature of the quotations I’d collected (ranging from personal to offensive to inspiring to hilarious).
My hope with this Substack is to publish a (maybe) weekly email consisting of a few quotations exploring different themes, along with my accompanying thoughts. It is an attempt to crystalize and combine the miscellany of my personal jottings from journals, notebooks, and iPhone apps with the depths of my quotation collection to output some interesting reads for my friends. I hope you enjoy.
Expectations:
This isn’t that serious. I will say outlandish things. My views will change, evolve, and refine. Anything and everything recorded here is merely my mediocre meanderings, shared amongst friends.
