Thank you so much for the mention. These days you probably won’t cross paths with Mr. @thinknzombie unless you are involved with the Inkubator community. They have an awesome bunch of folks — very serious about getting work through development and editing and off to publishers! I get over to their server when I can. Sounds like you stick to the Freewritehouse, though. I totally get how it helps with one’s life focus and energy management to put a limit on how many communities to get involved with!

Inkubator sounds like a great community with some of the best writers I met at Steemit. I should expand my horizons, I know, but I shut off Discord (too many temptations, too many fun conversations to distract me from writing). And every community requires a certain level of involvement. I can find time for less than one thing, At best. You multi-taskers amaze me! Your energy, enthusiasm, ambtion, and accomplishments blow me away. And now I'm heading out to pull more weeds. "A waste of time," says my sister. Meh. It's therapeutic, despite the chiggers, poison ivy, and all. TTFN - and you're more than welcome for the mention. If I could, I'd whale-slap you instead. :)

Carol, you had joined us, before shutting down your Discord I guess. Our focus is on the pro publishing side these days. Andrew and I are appearing together in a hardcover collection out this month. We've done the microfictions in the past but these days we're hard on the pro level and blogging stuff makes it ineligible most places.

That's fantastic!!
Ah, the price of being too isolated. I will try to get out more. (For me, getting out more means joining another internet group! LOL)

When the time comes that you're back on the mainstream writing horse, you know how to find us. But for us, it's working. I've got a pro pub and a growing stack of smaller ones in both fiction and poetry. Just took second place at Balticon's speculative poetry contest.
