Aw! I will keep that in mind in the future!

Great idea about starting with prompts! I almost submitted for the 2022 Anthology but saw that part of the rules was that it must be edited. It was the day before they were due and felt too last minute to hope for an editor reply/request. 😓I will for sure be trying to put something out for next time!

Thank you. I guess I'm a little hung up on which one first. I do agree that starting to post is the key first step. 😊 They range anywhere from 16,000 - 67,000 words.

Honestly, I thought this was how it was here on this website. I'm constantly seeing interactions that make it seem like a majority of the writers here are a team. The deeper I dove into it and the more I realized this wasn't always the case. There is definitely a community here. There is definitely support but it's hard to pinpoint for sure if there are teams like you have described. - now forgive me I am new. I don't have a long of a record (not sure if that's the right word but that police chase is still in my head, which by the way I now have a show to check out lol) as some with this website. I also never share my work and have spent the last 6 months gearing myself up to just properly interacting within this space. I have a strong case of stage fright, but also the strong urge to share my work after over a decade of writing and hiding. I love to write. I write for myself because I get a thrill from knitting words together and finding myself in another world altogether. I've never needed anyone but myself to keep my motivation but I would also love to iron out kinks and fill in potholes that exist in my writing. I do not have enough ego to assume I could produce a perfect piece with only me, myself, and I. So, to find a team, people I can count on to drive the getaway car, help fight our way out of tight spots, or just know the how when it comes to dos and don't would be the dream. Sign me up! Insert cheesy line here: Teamwork makes the dream work. There is a lot of talent in this space. So I believe there is a team out there waiting, ready to assemble, with each of their talents, and perspectives. Just waiting for the words needed to go. On the flip side, I also think it would be amazing to be a member within a team. To help make someone else's story the best version it could be.

I have cleared my schedule (sorry to be read pile, you'll have to wait just a bit longer) I am ready to read Anthologies! It's exciting to see the countdown come to an end, and I can't wait to see what everyone has been working on.

I found myself fascinated with the world, and characters you created in such a small snapshot of their lives. A beautiful beginning.

There is moooore?!?! ❤️ Love being able to understand how Brad and Mark ended up where they were in the other part. Will they continue to pop up with more prompts or will they grow into their story and become even more?

This time I am floored. I read this over the weekend, and spent almost a full 24 hours with Endings in my head. Playing over and over again. I re- read the last chapter, again, tonight and its still hits me so hard. I felt everything you threw at Chase. It was incredible to watch him build himself again. I will never look at burnt pizza the same. It will always remind of Chase and Hank and the journey they went on. I'm in love, in awe and I am out of tissue!

This is something I wouldn’t mind giving a try. I find myself always single perspective focused, and there have been moments where I’ve paused to think “what would this look like from so and so’s side of things” but never attempt to write it out. They are just little blips in the back of my head. 🙃

I was hopelessly attached from the start, rooting for Jimmy the second he offered to step in. I laughed out loud and nearly pulled my hair out at some points a long the way. I was so scared it would end with Drake walking away in that hall way. My heart ached! I had to pause and remind myself there was more after. I'm completely smitten with these characters. Will be revisiting them again.
