March 3rd is both World Day of the Writer and Shiisaa Day. Next year I’m going to find a way to combine two of my favorite things. Today I’ll just share some of the things I’ve set up recently. One of my goals in 2023 is to build community. My dream online world would be full of all the quirky people I know and we would work together to build each other up. Here are five things I started up toward that end.
