Here's a new bad idea! For our next local writer reading we want to reflect on everyone's favorite topic: COVID! Last month was the five year anniversary of the COVID lockdowns where most of us stayed home and collectively had our minds (irrevocably??? surely not!) altered and we thought this would be a good chance to reflect on our 2020 mindsets!
We have previously done a few readings of writer's journals and they have always been great. If you are interested, message us or email us at
Ym9va21hcnhib29rc2hvcCB8IGdtYWlsICEgY29t to claim a spot to read. (We may have a few spots the evening of if they are not all claimed, but if you would like to read, message us and we'll put your down for a slot!).
Again, I know most people don't want to think about any of this, and that's fine!
I know this topic has a history of bringing out the least charitable in people, especially online, so our rule on this is: DONT BE WEIRD OR CRUEL!
*****Information for those interested in participating in future readings*****
Future readings may be centered around specific themes, but this month, the subject matter is open ended. Readings should typically be between 5 and 10 minutes (or shorter) and can be in any genre--short fiction, excerpts from novels or memoirs, personal reflections, poetry, creative non-fiction, critical essays, angry reviews of trailers for Marvel movies, etc.. Anything goes (except for White nationalist propaganda, that doesn't go).
