Hey, friends. #WritingCommunity. All of us who grieve thanks to #Nanowrimo.

WE have always been the heart of it.

Nano was a platform. A tool. It's a tool that broke.

WE ARE STILL the same people who write in November.

It's not over. Grieve, rage, and keep going. #createit22

Art is part of you. It comes from you, and it both shapes you and is shaped by you. You cannot lose it as long as you live.

If you put flour and water and yeast together, then say, "This doesn't look like bread!" and throw it out, you will NEVER GET BREAD.

Bread takes time, patience, and work. So does your art. #createit22 #WritingCommunity #artists
