I am 68K into a shitty first draft about witches and patriarchy (destruction thereof) and libraries. Gonna use this two-week blitz to get myself to the finishing line...I hope. Which will be interesting (I hope) because I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen.

I would read this. Libraries are also a major theme in my fantasy WIP! I’m about 44k words in.

I think it's so interesting that libraries are getting so much attention these days; it's almost as if we crave these centers of learning and knowledge as the world devolves ... !

I think there’s absolutely something to that. My WIP revolves around fighting an authoritarian regime, so how could libraries not play a role?

As a librarian, witch and writer who works with same themes, I’m ready to read this! Reach out if you want.

I can't wait. I've finally figured out, theoretically, what wasn't working in my hybrid memoir/how-to WIP, so now I get to dive back in and try to make it work.

I took a couple months away from the 2nd draft of my WIP, so now I'm getting my notes together for what I need to add and rework to make it to draft #3. #1000wordsofsummer is the perfect time to execute it.
