I'm SO GLAD you all took the leap and offered the first Writing Our Eras group - I loved being part of it and was also so blown away by how strong the writing was and how vulnerable people were willing to be. It was great.

I've been in the last 2 cohorts and signed up for the third and honestly, could just keep going and going until we run out of T-Swifts songs lol. The workshop is SO good! I haven't had the time or bandwidth to engage as I'd like but I'm in awe of the other writers who are sharing so vulnerably and bravely. It's amazing what you've built!

This is the second time today I have heard about creative writers and a project that is Taylor Swift-inspired. Check out this anthology of poets writing about Swift and her songs as described by Jeannine Ouellette over at Writing in the Dark: https://writinginthedark.substack.com/p/i-believe-in-invisible-strings-the

It's quite the phenomenon. I am not a Swiftie but I am intrigued to learn more about her music now and all that is inspiring among your workshop participants.

Yes! There are so many creative Swiftie projects out there! And I heard about that anthology yesterday. I cannot wait to read it.

Currently considering my collection of Beatles' lyrics as story prompts - so maybe we're onto a new wealth of writing prompts. What better story prompt than the Beatles song "She's Leaving Home," or "A Day in the Life." Unfortunately, I might be one of the few people on earth who has never heard a Taylor Swift song!

Are you guys going to run one in the fall for all the parents without consistent childcare this summer? Would be super interested!

I’ve only just joined this community and the Swiftie workshop really intrigues me - it’s not the kind of thing I’d normally do! But I think it’s a bit too late for me to sign up for the latest one. Is there any chance you’ll do something similar in the future?
