Hello! Some time ago I opened up the possibility of a writer support group, and I'm happy to say that with
@Kiddian @A Kindle Of Kittens @TGN @Stigya2113 @Mateo406 @Joslisonoria on board, we'e got our 5 required plus some extra members to make this a reality!
I'm excited to see this hopefully pass.
Also pinging
