      @mdnail Your setting evokes distant memories, but I can’t figure out of what. Hmm. :)

      Oh, excellent news! I’m glad it went well.

      Group V is up in the air, and given work schedules, it might be rare that the whole group is on simultaneously. But we shall avoid Mondays and Tuesdays!

      Two things.

      Well, @dmzoltwrites – that was a lovely story. I felt the struggle. I can sympathize with struggling not to wake Murphy d’Cat when I get up to pee at 2 a.m. and he’s draped over my legs atop the comforter.

      Well, @allihawk – GAME. ON.

      “But figuring out how to create “growth” at a commercial book publisher in 2019 is a problem I do not think anybody has solved yet.”

      Ain’t that just the truth. :expressionless:

      Bibliotherapy is unbelievably powerful and is the cornerstone to “Feelin’ Good”, the book that brought cognitive behavioral therapy to the mainstream in the 90s. It’s a good (and hefty) read on the subject!

      The article talks a lot about using fiction as a tool but it can work equally as well with non-fiction. I love reading texts on neurobiology and mental disorders!

      I also really liked that the author was open about the times it didn’t work. My therapist has definitely recommended books to me that I didn’t sync up with and made for some awkward silences at our next session. :joy:

      I’m pleased to share that as of today, GRWT now consists of three writing groups — two with an in-person focus, and one virtual-only. We’ve added nine new writers to the Tribe in the last week!

      If you’d like to be the 10th, fill out the application form at https://grwt.org/join-the-tribe/.

      I’m thinking we should begin this journey in mid-June. From what I gather from talking to folks, everyone who intends to be vaccinated will have done so by mid-May, so by mid-June, everyone should be at peak protection and it’s likely (I hope?) that in-person dining will be a more viable option. I know a few places on the list where we could go, early up.

      If you’re interested in participating in these meal rounds, please let me know your preferred availability – e.g., good/bad nights or weekends.

      Optionally, for Saturday excursions, we could also combine these with some sort of outdoor outing, like a hike or a kayak trip.

      Very very very first draft, so no polish (like I said in Discord), but I will be hopefully presenting an edited version here in the future if anyone is curious or cares. XD

      For now, take the super first draft to make sure we make the deadline.
