So much wonderful in this post! For the record, I thought it was octopi, too. ❤️👍 Thank you for supporting writers in some really creative ways, and for honoring your brother in a beautiful fashion. Every bit helps as we all know. I will be donating before the cutoff date… Even if it’s only a few dollars. I urge others to really consider the minimum donation despite a tight budget. The good feeling you get will be worth so much more!!!
Thank you, Meg! I'm so glad you're here, and thanking you for donating to the scholarship fund. You're absolutely right that every little bit helps--it all adds up! 💛
thank you for taking the mid-career scholarships for 2025 off of bold... GOSH, they wanted a LOT of personal information... i deleted that the more i got into it. ack! ;D
and yes: there are so many creative ways to keep learning the craft of writing and pursuing publication! :D (gonna keep applying to residencies and scholarships, especially at highlights-- what an inspiring place!!)
grateful for you, your donors, and YOUR vision and generosity, dear evelyn!!! :D
Love to see what these scholarships are doing to inspire young writers and so glad to be contributing. Thanks for the sweet thank you video, too. As for your reading and watching, lots of interesting stuff not least the octopus punching fish in the face. As for the new Kristin Bell-Adam Brody rom-com, a friend of mine has highly recommended it and so with your link here, it would seem to be calling to me, for something light and fun. I no longer own a TV, made that decision last December when I moved from a rental house that had a TV to my unfurnished apartment because I want to read, read and read some more. But there are times when the brain needs a break from that, especially the writer brain who consumes and creates words all day long, and so I am going to "allow" myself more streaming screen time via my laptop/monitor. I'm hooked on the most recent season of "Emily in Paris" and need to finish that first. Happy weekend, all!
Thank YOU for contributing to the scholarships, Amy! And I’m with you on TV—I don’t watch much because I like to read in the evenings but you’re right, it’s also nice to have a little something that’s light to serve as a break sometimes!

It’s not octopi? I’m going to think about this all day!
You’re a beautiful soul, Evelyn. Lovely to see it paid forward to young writers.
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it was octopi!
💛 and thank you! You are such a lovely soul, too, Allison. 💛
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many writers 🙏❤️
(For some reason the annual donation button doesn't work for me) - thanks
You’re welcome, Janet!
That’s weird that the annual button doesn’t work. Which rate tier do you want?

Are you on an iPhone by any chance? iPhone ecosystem doesn’t allow discount links, but it will work from a computer or Android phone.
love this! Octipodes, huh? Interesting
Right? So weird, but I also really like it...
