As a mom of five, you had me laughing from "we're still not potty trained." Super cute intro.

It's exciting to see the evolution of this page and your work, Ben and Shannan. I'm particularly interested in the community feedback surrounding submissions. This is the area I feel most intimidated by, since I keep wondering if my work will ever stand out enough to be accepted in a periodical.

Looking forward to the October 8th Fuck It and Submit virtual gathering.

Thanks for all you do!

I'm not new to writing, but I'm new to technology. Such as: I need a website. How do I get one? I have no earthly idea how to build one. I'm old enough to have sold 31 stories (to magazines that no longer exist) simply through the post. I won a poetry award by sending my poem by mail. Technology has passed me by. I am simply learning the vocabulary through groups like this, and it's helpful. I'll hang in there...and write.

Hi, Benjamin, What is "An accountability hour?" (See what I mean about vocabulary?)
