You may have noticed I'm passionate about community building (from all my author discord posts 😉). I wanted to let writers know our final line up of who we're trying to help connect, in some cases for general community & support, on top of our Writing, Querying, Self Publishing & Marketing focus.

Turns out, each plume on CubeRoot's fancy hat is a meaning found. Swallow's tail says remember to play. Gull's feather means chaos is beauty. Crow's is beak the day. And a silhouette falls from the sky. Like a hole cut out from day, but noisy. Ah, says CubeRoot. She says get on with it. #whistpr

You were so busy staring at the sun that you didn't see the world end. Now these dusty halls are your inheritance. You wander, unseeing, as the dead beseech you from the shadows. "Prophet. Prophet, please. What did you witness?" Alien #starscapes scintillate in your empty sockets. #vss365
