Writers Writing!
Everyone has worked on their writing projects a lot! Evel has a book from a series idea they have, Cassowary is also working on a series, and Phoenix is also also... no, just kidding! Phoenix is working on flashfics and short stories.
Writing is fun! World building is def our favorite part!
And Phoenix keeps a sharp eye on Authors Publish's emails. We individually send in submissions and applications for anything relevant they find.
We gush about Authors Publish for a min
Authors Publish is a great resource for writers! Whatever you write, poetry to nonfiction, they'll have relevant suggestions for grants, publishers, residency, and whatall. Their livestreams are also great, like this one about grants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WcsQKGzDnU

We hope your Confusion was good and that you've made good trouble too.
Ours has been pretty rough, but we are persevering as always.
