News
There have been suggestions that our critiques take too many tangents that go on too long. That’s not surprising with creative minds full of interrelated facts.

Victories
Shannon finished the draft of End of the Internet, by writing 3,000 words in one day.
Dylan is up to 20,000 words of submissions to a humorous almanac, a sizable fraction of the total. They think he’s funnier than he thought he was.

“We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. ~Chuck Palahniuk
