🚫 No Submissions This Writer Wednesday

There will be no Writer Wednesday this week.

I’ve received messages through the submission form that are not only inappropriate—they are hateful, manipulative, and targeted. These messages have attacked me and the people I work with. They've crossed personal and professional boundaries in ways that are cruel, obsessive, and disgusting.

To whoever sent them—and to anyone who sees behavior like this and excuses it:
Remove yourself from my page.
You're not welcome here.
You don’t respect me, and you sure as hell don’t respect the writers who help bring this work to life.

This kind of entitled, parasocial poison is an abuse of my time, my trust, and my mental health. It’s exploitation. And if this continues, I will permanently shut down all future submissions.

This project is built on community. On collaboration. On mutual respect. If you can’t participate in that with basic decency and boundaries, get out.

To everyone else—those who show up with kindness, creativity, and care—thank you. You’re the only reason this still exists.
