As a shapeshifter, Aisling often masquerades at whatever animal possesses the traits she needs at the time, but she especially loves the forms of insects (mainly wasps or bees).

Tell us your Main Character's fursona/what animal they would be.

Is your character already an animal? What human job would they have?

Using only emojis, tell us the plot of your WIP. You can be as detailed or as sparse as you like.

Now try guessing what other posters' plots are!

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Had the concept of escaping from people and places on my mind a lot lately. I'm sure that doesn't reflect the current state of reality at all... #WriterSky #shortstory #escapism
Escapism Part 1
Read time: 3 mins. This is a throwback to my first attempt at running a serialized fiction blog in 2018. Much of what I wrote during that period I've now synthesized into a draft of a novel. This story, while one of my favorites, really had no place in the new narrative. However, that doesn't stop it living on as what I originally created it for in the first place: a blog story.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

It can be so easy to neglect ourselves on the road, and disassociate...

Embrace the Woodland Void
Read time: 1 min. If you scream in the forest and no one's there to hear it, then you've figured out what screaming into the void means. Have you walked alone out here because you couldn't handle their voices - ringing, pinging, liking, reposting - - buzzkill workaholic; work harder - - it's all in your head but respond to it more - …
