WAKE UP CALL!!

Draw a shitty map of anything and label it. Your broken heart. Your old college apartment. Whatever has good stories to tell. What do you want me to say? We must start somewhere.

LETS SAY HELLO..

Chances are, we all know each other, but lets do a little check in- where are we in our writing journeys right now, what do we need, what are our next steps?
