Thanks for the shout out! I think we need to get the queer writers together for another Zoom. I know there are a lot of us here and it's nice to make those human connections.

Oh, Danโ€ฆI WOULD LOVE THAT! Maybe we need to schedule a Happy Hour. Or something more regular. Title Suggestion: Palโ€™s Pals. Cheers!

Ooh! I like that! We'd need to think about a good time for a Happy Hour. You're on the West Coast. I'm Midwest. What's the earliest you'd consider starting?? I know that some of our tribe is also in the U.K. and Europe. Not sure if we can get everyone but it would be cool to try!

I was playing with the idea of 3pm on Thursday or Friday. Not perfect for all, but might give most folks a chance to joinโ€ฆwith a beverage of their choice. Open to suggestions. Happy to set it up if thereโ€™s interest.

Yeah, that would be a good time. It's 5 PM here. I think it would be cool to invite people from different groups on Substack. I've recently begun following Lavendar Sound which focuses on LGBTQ+ writers of music. I also meet up on Zoom with a wider group of music writers every other week. Some may be interested. Of course, there's also the QStack directory. I'm also happy to do some leg work on getting it going.

Meant to reach out today. But...gotta sidetracked. I'll touch base with you next week. Have a great weekend, Mr. Pal!

I found your write up quite interesting and informative. I like that you acknowledged the input that other creatives have on your own process and that might fuel the development of something you may be working on, etc. Like a "mind map", where one word or thought leads to other ideas and indeed becomes a hive of activity metaphorically and literally, despite time and distance. The bonding itself gives a type of sustenance and support that encourages a resolve to carry on. Thank You, Clint!

So well said, Larry. I truly believe weโ€™re all in this together and better when we find ways to work alongside each other if not exactly together. Community is becoming more and more important to me. And I love the extra energy and inspiration!

Oh and just for some light relief on a dreary day. Cheers DougT

Thatโ€™s just delightful. I wouldnโ€™t mind trying that. :-)
