A side note on assignments

I want to make sure no one feels held back from posting by wanting their pieces to be perfect. The stories we publish here are exercises and should be first or second drafts. The point is to get writing. We should read one another's pieces in that same light so we all know that and don't feel too intimidated or perfectionist to post anything.

I for one know I'm really rusty at writing fiction at this point in my life, so I'm not trying for award-winning stories or anything, just trying to rediscover that part of myself and get it going again.

If you don't feel like writing one of the assignments right now but want to take part, you could post something about what you get out of writing or hope to get out of it, what your favorite genre or format is, or what's been holding you back from writing.
