DAY 8/10 #quietthechaos

Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is relax in the sun when you’re “supposed” to be doing 10,000 other things. [Although I’ve no doubt our healthcare workers are far braver than I right [...]

DAYS 6&7 #quietthechaos

DAY 4/10 #quietthechaos

Today I got quiet with 30+ writers as we shared poetry readings and letter-writing, virtually, in solidarity. Some of us journaled or worked on short stories, too. ALONE TOGETHER. It’s a thing. [...]

DAY 2/10 #quietthechaos
