Welcome to The Clueless Writer's Chronicle
Your Starting-point If You Just Landed Here
Hello, dear reader!
This newsletter is my space to share the ups, downs, and all the unpredictable twists in between as I navigate my writing journey. More and more, it’s becoming the place where I share my fiction and humorous essays—because why should life be serious all the time?
I'm Simone Domenico Casadei Bernardi (but you can call me Simon, as most do). I wear many hats: reader, lawyer, business owner, and wannabe writer. I’m also a proud self-publisher, blind-searching my way through the world of indie books.
I live in Tallinn, Estonia, with my husband and our dog, Pippa. We move quite a bit, but for now, our dishwasher is in Tallinn, so we call it home.
What You’ll Find Here
As a clueless writer, my newsletter changes shape now and then. Here’s what you can usually expect:
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.
Thursdays: You’ll benefit from my award-deserving funny essays under the section “Tales from the Absurd”.
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”.
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.
