Gypsy Blue Rose

Gypsy Blue Rose: The Women Writers Club provides a place for women to share their stories in prose or poetry. Our community is inclusive. Women of different races, religions, and fluid genders are welcome. There are a few rules: Be Kind and Respectful to each other, if you get a negative review from a non-member try to let it go, focus on the positive ones and if you feel more comfortable sharing in private, we do have a Google Chat, just send me a message; please, keep the poems and stories within a manageable reading length (FROM A FEW WORDS TO 600 WORDS); and mark your posts with appropriate warnings for language, violence, and sexual content. Otherwise, there are no other rules or requirements. There is no right or wrong way to write the challenges. Please, if you review other club members, focus on context not errors. We welcome writers and poets at all levels from beginners to experts. You don't have to participate in every event if you don't want to, you can choose the events that you find interesting. We have a new event every Wednesday.
