#WIPSnips (action of delivering) - there's a light ghostly presence in this story #writingcommunity

I wrote a lil about how I stopped treating my writing like a scratch-off ticket and started placing it with care. Give it a read if you're looking to get published! #writerslife #submissions #chillsubs #writingcommunity

I've seen many posts about writing as being either frivolous or a form of resistance, given the state of the world - but not much discussion about why it needs to be be one or the other. Most people (non-artists) continue their regular work & try to engage with the world as they can. (1/2)
