What is The Clueless Writer’s Chronicles (TCWC)?

As its name suggests, TCWC isn’t where you can find “secrets” or “bulletproof strategies” for becoming a bestselling author raking in six or seven figures.

This newsletter is a space where I share the ups, downs, and everything in between as I navigate my writing journey. Plus some fiction I write from time to time.

This newsletter is free, and will be free forever. You’ll never find content after a paywall.

What’s TCWC’s Editorial Plan?

Oh, an editorial plan? Sure… I could have one, but why ruin the mystery, right?

Let’s say that this is the deal for TCWC (so far):

  1. Tuesdays: Expect a weekly update on my writing journey. It’s like watching someone trip, fall, and somehow one day land a publishing deal, all in real-time.

  2. Thursdays: You’ll benefit from my award-deserving funny essays under the section “Tales from the Absurd”.

  3. Every Other Saturday: I’ll treat you to some short crime fiction. Hey, this is what I love to write. This section is called “Shadow Files”.

  4. Alternate Saturdays: You’ll get a peek into the Diary of a Detective Disaster—the notes of a detective who’s more focused on plotting novels than solving murders. Think Sherlock Holmes, but with writer’s block.

Please note that this plan may change, possibly frequently, and without notice! ;-)

Who Am I?

My name’s Simone Domenico Casadei Bernardi, that is a bit long to pronounce and remember, so I’m Simon for almost everyone!

I’m writing to you from Tallinn, Estonia, a (small) city where medieval charm meets Wi-Fi faster than a knight on a quest!

I’m married to Romet, and we have a dog, a mixed breed we called Pippa.

I wear a couple of hats: business owner (in the boring legal and accounting field) and passionate writer (with the ambition to combine the two one day).

With a legal background and a passion for writing, I have self-published a couple of crime novels and several short crime stories under a pen name. I enjoy writing about writing. One of my mantras? "Never take yourself too seriously."
