Literary Refugees: the Speculative Fiction Haven


Sorry for the quiet... it's been BUSY.

Life goes on, as it does for most of us. In recent news, I have discovered a wonderful group on Facebook called the Literary Refugees: the Speculative Fiction Haven.

And let me tell you... (yes, I did start my sentence with a conjunction. I'm a writer, I can break the rules.) I am BEYOND glad that I did.

Writers... well, creators in general don't get the best support. Especially if you're just starting out. (Like me!) It's extremely hard to feel like you're doing something worthwhile, especially if no one else seems to think what you're working on is anything special. Many artists (doesn't matter your craft) have fallen victim to an indifferent audience of their peers and family. I mean, I think we can all agree that we've had the "Get a real job" talk, right?

I. Feel. You.

However, I thankfully found this awesome literary society, filled with brilliant people who LOVE to do what I love to do! There is no better feeling in this world than feeling as though you finally fit in somewhere.

So, to my co-members of the Spec. Fic. Haven, thank you. It's been real.

Have an amazing day.
