Can’t make it in person? Our Online Open Mic Salon is quarterly, free, and just as warm and welcoming as our in-person events💛 As usual, it will feature excellent readings, and a highly competitive quiz, and our illustrious host @kiklodge.bsky.social

I also woke up this morning knowing how to actually end the novel I've been working on for five years, instead of the ending I wrote a few weeks ago where I tied it all up neatly and told the reader everything. As a short story writer i know that urge. I needed to write it, for me, and now I cut it!
