ON A SErious Note…

Hi all! It’s been a minute—or maybe three years—but I’m back, baby!

The last couple of years have been wild, and I have plenty of material to share and plenty to catch you up on. For now, here’s what you need to know: I’m no longer writing just for millennial and Gen Z women. I’m writing for anyone who feels clinically insane… or maybe actually is.

Because my target audience now includes both men and women from their teens to their forties, my comedic voice is shifting. I’m studying and practicing to perfect it—reading books by comedians and humor writers, watching stand-up, and experimenting with new styles.

Since I’m still in the middle of that process, this passion project doesn’t have a set start date. I’ve added posts from four to five years ago (well, the ones I like anyway) and will be adding new blog posts when I’m ready. But this is no longer just a blog.

I have many ideas for where to take this, but I’m starting small. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. Right now, I’m taking it one day at a time. If it grows into something bigger, great—if not, it will remain part of my self-care routine. Writing comedy has truly become a passion and one of my biggest coping skills when life goes off course.

I hope you’re enjoying your summer, and I’ll see you soon!

If you need me, want to get involved, or just want to say hi, my email is always open: avamarvel@freakinmental.org.

Lots of Love,

Ava Marvel
