"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Better Than Black Friday Writing Marathon! New Prompts! Because We’d Rather Be Makers Than Takers!

Just Say No!!!

Okay beautiful writer and artist people!!!!

Tis the month of that devious dubious insidious awful terrible consumerist debacle–Black Friday!

Last year, I just couldn’t stand it anymore, so I started a weekend writing challenge group on Facebook to do my own little bit to fight back against the ickiness of Black Friday shopping! Let’s write instead!

Here’s the FB group, now up to almost 300 people!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1512919158978356/

Join us to Celebrate the First Year Anniversary of this Crazy-Fight-the-Man-and-Capitalist-Lunacy Anti-Black-Friday-24 Hour Writing Marathon!

Mark your calendars! November 27, 2015 🙂 

There will be 24 new prompts! 

Write! Paint! Draw! Sing! Dance! Make art! Create rather than consume!

And no crazy crowds around to knock you down, tryin to rip that tiger-striped car cover or bullet juicer from your hands!!!

BECAUSE WE’D RATHER BE WRITING!
