I love this. I like the collective mind concept that also allows for different viewpoints. What I’m struggling with is fitting my story into the guidelines of one moment for a second coming of age because I’ve had several throughout my life and gradual progress as I’ve learned to establish boundaries. Maybe I focus on a more recent shift?
I love this so so much!! 🥹 I would have loved to do one for October (because I just went through cancer treatment and I think that was my breaking moment) but I’m traveling late October so won’t be able to attend the zoom! Definitely doing the next one though. It’s a delicious topic!! ❤️❤️❤️ quick question: does it have to be 1000 words exactly or can be a little more?
We would love to have you whenever you can join, Wajeeha. I’m sending hugs for the cancer treatment - cancer sucks! It can be give or take 1,000 words. I just might have a lot to read so I need to keep it doable.
Oh darn it, Heather! I can’t change the times because my heroines are already tied into noon on Thursdays. You can submit anyway and listen to the recordings?
Yay! I'm so excited for these calls and to engage with these prompts. Thank you for organizing these salons. I think they are exactly what my brain needs at this point in my life.
Very happy to wake up to this! I’m getting started today!
I can’t wait to read what you come up with Christine!

A recent shift would work, Carol!

Thank you Lisa! Cancer does suck, but I’m glad active treatment is over. I can’t wait to submit an essay. I’m already planning one!
Congrats on your treatment being complete. I can’t wait to read what you submit.
Thank you Lisa! ❤️
I love everything about this. And I have so much to say on both topics … but I host a weekly live show at that time on Thursday’s 🙈🙈🙈🙈

I totally understand. I’m one person - you can’t change the timing for me. Just like I can’t change the timing of my live show.
but sure, I could still submit, if that’s acceptable 💜
Of course! If your piece is selected I will give you a pass on the required appearance and we will just have to be satisfied with your words.
I could come for the first 45 minutes, just have to be on air at 12 CT.
This looks wonderful! Amidst a book launch, but I’m already thinking about the October theme!
I would love to read what you come up with, Suzanne!

We need to support each other during our second coming-of-age (a new type of coming-of-age story for you to love).
I could’ve written this. Writing is indeed a lonely calling, and I too have been craving more. Brilliant idea 💡
Love this intentional gathering! And thank you for the prompts. I’m chewing on them. 🤗
