Mom is rallying her Facebook friends to email HR@opm.gov. They're about to hear some wholesome-ass activities from a bunch of retired rural white ladies.

I discovered 2 things today: 1) I'm not into Hemingway 2) Blackout poetry is therapeutic. (It's my 1st attempt, be gentle with me)

Oh, hey. I got first place in my group for a story about frogs revolting against the monarchy (a thinly veiled dig at the working class rising up against the elites). Vive la résistance! And congrats to everyone moving on.

I want to find: 1) A group of writers who meet online 1 or 2 hrs per wk or fortnight; 2) Perhaps the depressed & mad writers who wilfully carve up bits of themselves as an offering to their stories; 3) Also, the witch authors, those willing to stir up demons and cast spells.
