The real world has been dark. Frankly, a lot of Substack has been dark.

When I asked how we could make this space better James Ballantyne had a beautiful idea about writing about the world we want.

So I wanted to put out a different prompt for next week.

THE PROMPT: THE HAPPY PLACE

Write from the happy place. What does your happy place look like? Feel like? What happens there? What never happens there? Who is there with you? What is a joy that you could only dream of made reality?

Feel free to be as delulu as possible with this one! Tag me with yours, I will collect all the happy places pieces together to create a pocket of joy post.

Can be poetry, fiction, nonfiction, play, whatever. Just give in to the joy of what could be. Be funny, weird, wild, whatever. Bonus: Pics!

Note: Please pass this one along to the artists on here as well.

Please tag more peeps, we need to go on a little joyride together.
