When you have an idea that seems like a great one – passionate, socially motivated, and niche – you can sometimes be blinded by the glittering endgame.

We can practically feel those smooth, virtual pages of our first zine issue; we are mouse-click flipping through poem after poem, prose after prose, and words, words, words!

But, <expletive>, ideas are hard work!

We faithfully tend to our Instagram account daily. We brainstorm writing prompts and writing inspirations. We even created a TikTok account! #dohashtagsevenhelpboostourposts #wewillkeeponaddinghashtagsjustincase

We gnaw and chew and claw at ways to increase visibility and spread the word.

Here’s hoping you cling on for the journey.
