It's our FIRST EVER Book Club Book and we are starting with a BANG!! The Washington Post described "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara as "a witness to human suffering pushed to its limits, drawn in extraordinary detail by incantatory prose." Just over 800 pages, this is a daunting story about four male friends whose relationships change as time progresses. The bond between the four strengthens and weakens as does their life. Full of tragedy, love, and the unspeakable bond that men have but cannot voice, "A Little Life" has taken the world by storm. I hope it can do the same for us. Themes: Male relationships, brotherhood, friendship, childhood trauma and recovery Reading Assignment: Read Parts I and II and III by 1/13/24. I will check in on 12/30 and 1/6 with everyone.

Our FIRST Meeting will be Monday Night at 7:30 PST! It's just going to be a quick Zoom meeting that you can even join on your phone! Let's put some faces to names and get to know one another. I'll be guiding us through the site and the classroom, showing everyone around, what to access and when, and just saying hello! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here!

You wake up, and the bed you are in isn't yours. A bedside clock reads 7:53 AM in bold red. The sheets feel expensive, the pillow is slick and full of duck feathers. The sun peeks through thin curtains and a breeze comes from a nearby window that is only just cracked open. From behind a closed door, you hear footsteps... Now write!

Hello! First of all, thank you for you support. Welcome to my little corner of the internet! It is my hope that this is where your support of me ends and my support of you begins! I've been writing for a while, and it has been the single most therapuetic thing in my life. Trouble with parents? Write. School sucks? Write. Relationship problems? Write (then run to my girlfriend and apologize for writing). Writing has always been there for me and because of this, I have always been there for others with the written word. I figure now is as good a time as any to turn that into something worth giving to the world. So join me on this quest to bring more words to the world. Words not yet written. Words that YOU want to share. Words that deserve an audience. Words that are just behind closed doors. As an introduction, let's just do a quick questionnaire: Favorite Book Book that changed your life Favorite author Favorite person in this world Favorite word What do you want out of joining this group?
