Once upon a time - about 9 months ago - Hive account@stellabelle launched a service which allowed our Steemian friends to send stories anonymously. The premise was to share our deepest, darkest secrets; purge that thing we'd done in the past, get whatever out of our system and into the light without fear of being judged for that thing... and get paid for it.

I have missed this service and those stories!

It's been on my mind for several months, so I reached out to Leah and asked if it would be all right if I revived Secret Writer. She has graciously given her blessing!

While many things she implemented will remain the same, there are going to be quite a few other changes.

Admittedly, I hesitated a little bit to include Hive account@stellabelle's original links because the changes are significant enough, especially where payouts are concerned. I do not want to cause any confusion. But then I thought, it's on the blockchain anyway!

So if you're curious about the birth of Secret Writer, here are two links to read:

• Get Revenue Anonymously: How To Submit A Secret To The Secret Writer Project:
• SECRET WRITER FAQ

Teasing you some more

Secret Writer is just a gateway into something much, much bigger - but I can't really tell you more except that it will be published on the blockchain and financially powered with VIVA. The idea is in place and I've already secured a domain name. Am I being vague? Admittedly, yes. I'm still getting the back end organized for this big, big thing and it's on the nearest back burner because there are currently a lot of things on my plate.

Hurry up and wait!

I have physical, emotional and financial events all occurring on May 1

• I am moving into a new home
• My middle son heads to Marine Corps bootcamp
• VIVA coin is launching its ICO

It would really be crazy for me to launch Secret Writer until at least... May 2nd. LOL
Seriously though, a more realistic timetable would be mid May.

In the short term I will be posting new FAQs and submission guidelines so start thinking about the secret you want to share but don't want anyone to know it's really you - then stay tuned!
