Come join us tomorrow to meet fellow local creative and writers. Grab a drink, have some conversation, write for a little bit, and expand your network!

All experience levels welcome! See you there :)

Edit Update: Thank you everyone for the wonderful advice, input, suggestions, kind words, and well wishes. I did not expect for so many people to see this or comment. I thought id get a few responses and then delete this post in shame.

I feel so seen and supported (just like the girls are, I promise lol. Alterations are in process haha). I dont have a strong network so ive been trying to deal with this alone and gosh im just so grateful for you wonderful kind souls. If I dont say thank you to your comment, its because I got busy with my goldens who require attention. Thank you and sending all the positive vibes back at you!

Original:

Please be honest, even if its brutal. I need input.

1. Fantasy wedding theme. Warrior princess vibe. May even wear a sword on my hip - TBD. Veil is a cape/hood/shoulder armor combo and I love that sort of vibe.

2. Dress was intl shipped, verrrry expensive, and wedding is in 4 months. There is no changing or returning. Was custom sized.

3. There have been issues with quality. My seamstress is amazing and fixing the waist area. And I am working with the designer to make things right for the other quality issues.

4. I ordered it a bit larger than I am which is the waist problem (extra fabric bunching up) because as I was ordering i had a pregnancy and miscarriage and bloated up 80 lbs in a very short amount of time. Pcos + pregnancy + miscarriage has been rough.

I see so many of you beautiful plus size women. Glowing and gorgeous.....and i just wanted to feel that way too. I dont feel special or beautiful....I feel I just look wide and bloated.

Girls, please be honest with me. How bad is this? I dont have people in my life to get feedback from. The few people I do have I know they will always say supportive stuff. Not sure if its body dismorphia as usual or if im justified in it not being a good look. If you agree I dont look great in it, any ideas on how to improve (outside of waist area which will be fixed).

See you there! If you haven't any questions please ask below and/or join one of our social links via the qr code in the attached image!

Hey yall! Life is so freaking hard sometimes and finding time to write, create, and socialize feels impossible most days. Then if you do find the time writers block strikes or creativity feels absent.

Thats why we made this local writing community. We spoil ourselves with a nice coffee, good vibes, and a little bit of writing and workshop time.

If you have 1.5 to 2 hours this Sunday, 5/24, and want to take a chance on a newer community, Clarksville Writers Nook, is meeting at Wesbrooks on Tiny Town from 12 to 2pm ish. Grab a drink if you want, write some, and workshop with like minded folks.

All levels of Writers welcome, and it is a safe and inclusive space to take time for you and your writing craft. If you have any questions feel free to ask here, on our fb page, on our meetup group, or in our discord, which I recommend joining!

See yall there :)

Attached is a breakdown of how Sunday is gonna go! Our 3rd meetup in early june will lean heavier on writing time with optional sharing.
