There's a meme going around encouraging people to sit if violence escalates at a protest. This is a bad idea for many reasons. Instead, plant your feet, lock arms with people next to you, and be silent. If everyone does this, the agitators will stand out and can be more easily dealt with. #NoKings

These days, most of them are virtual. Use your network, find a few writers whose work you enjoy and whose opinions you trust, and suggest meeting 1-2x/month. In my group, we send out <20 pages 5 days before we meet and discuss 2 writers per mtg for 45 minutes each. (continued)

7) These are just my two cents, which you can absolutely ignore, as I am the random Internet stranger I myself warned you about. 8) The advice I’ll absolutely stand behind is this: Join a writer’s group, and get feedback from people you trust. Still, I hope this helped.
