Happy Birthday Madness!

When an experience speaks to me, it begins with mental notes. Gravitates to pen to paper. Takes shape from keys to document. After about a thousand rewrites, it morphs into Black, White and, Gray.

Launching Madness was challenging for a magnitude of reasons, but I’m happy I did it. After reflecting back on the last year, below are 10 behind the scenes moments!

 Subscriber Shoutouts

While I have many to thank, none of this would be possible without the people who truly support Madness—YOU. The reader. The subscriber. Below are a few noteworthy subscribers from the past year.

First Subscriber

Teri H. encouraged me to pursue my writing for several years. After I made the decision to create my site, she was my first phone call. She jumped on it immediately.

Most Supportive Subscriber

When I thought my site wasn’t gaining traction, I debated pulling the plug. Literally, while I had this thought at the gym, Christine R. shouted, “I love your stories!” She continued cheering on a regular basis. 

Most Madness Subscriber Moment

“Beth! Your blog is hilarious,” Riza A. shouted while reading Madness on her laptop—NOT a cell phone—in the middle of a crowded movie theater, two rows away (after reading How to Buy a Mattress) #pandemicmovietheaterparty
