Creativity & Community

If you’ve been influenced by all the snail mail clubs going around, try becoming a volunteer pen pal!! I’ve been doing it for a while and it’s the most fun ever! It’s a nice little creative outlet and can bring some joy to someone who will appreciate it. I even started learning origami so I could include them in letters. You can be a volunteer pen-pal for the elderly, hospital patients, people detained in ICE centers, etc. It’s a really cool way to give something back to your community AND it scratches the itch of sending fun mail!

Short story writers: have you ever submitted your story for (paid) feedback?

On submittable, there's a magazine that's offering fiction feedback for $60. Is that normal? Is it worth it?

I started working on a short story as a way to infuse some creativity into my life. It has been so so fun and difficult! It's made me feel like a real person who does more than just stare at spreadsheets and slack messages for 8 hrs a day. Now that I'm nearing the finish line, I kinda want to submit it for feedback... I don't even really know why. But I would love to hear from anyone who has done this before.

Specifically you get "a few paragraphs (about half a single-spaced page) of comments intended to strengthen your work"
