I’m so excited to say that we have Academy notebooks available for sale now! I’m OBSESSED. You can find them here: https://members.esmewang.com/notebook

This is the introduction thread. Say hi, tell us where you’re from and what your writing is all about! In your introduction, answer these 4 questions: ➡️ What is your name (preferred pronouns as well, if you don't mind) ➡️ Why did you decide to join The Unexpected Shape Café? ➡️ What is your favorite book? ➡️ What are you interested in writing about? We can’t wait to meet you! If you'd like to share anything else as well, feel free! And welcome!

I just wanted to remind you all that while the Café is free and therefore separate from the The Unexpected Shape Writing Academy, ALL OF THE ACADEMY 101 CLASSES are available here! If you click on Classroom on the nav bar, you'll be able to see the classes and resources that are available to you. They are, of course, useful in and of themselves, but I hope that some of you will enjoy the classes enough that you'll feel inspired to join the Academy (http://www.unexpectedshapeacademy.com). So: please check out the classes and resources there if you haven't. And if you have, is there anything that you found particularly useful in them? For your fellow Café members who haven't yet explored that area, what would you recommend?

There are way fewer interactions and I haven't heard from Esmé or Dan for quite some time. I feel invested in this community so I'm still hoping it can turn around.
