There aren’t any new PSAs this month, but please be cautious about updating amino and logging out of your , as there have been many new bugs over the past couple weeks (a couple in regards to logging in). While TA has sent a couple blogs saying that they are working on it, we don’t know when all the errors will be fixed or if there will be more complications in the future.

1. What brought you to this community and what convinced you to stay?

I really love the atmosphere of the community, it seems everyone is so respectful and kind. Most of the posts are so well written as well, it’s hard to believe some of them aren’t from well-known published authors!

2. What have been some of your favorite moments or events in B&WA?

I a very distinct moment in which someone from the Hype Squad left one of the most meaningful comments on one of my most vulnerable pieces and I think about that quite often; it’s my favorite moment from this community as well as from writing in general.

3. How have you grown as a reader/writer since you first ed?

I definitely read so much more now, I find it easier to reach my goals when I put them out into the world. As for writing, I’ve become more private with my craft for the time being, hoping to really work at and perfect it!

4. What are some of your favorite pieces (either yours or someone else’s) and why?

I have quite a few posts saved on here that I absolutely love, but off the top of my head I recall “Why biscuits taste bland without the company you crave” by Deb and “[a piece of enamel from a hundred milk teeth|http://.com/p/6fuiwe]”

5. Other than books and writing, what’s something you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I really love music and spend a good portion of my morning just sitting there with my headphones on, taking in all the lyrics lmao. I also adore going for long walks, birding and wildlife watching.

6. Anything else to add?

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone who helps keep this community going, and keeping it a safe place. Your work is very appreciated <3

1. What brought you to this community and what convinced you to stay?

Well... originally I was insecure about my writing and scared to post stuff, my friends “bullied” me into posting my stuff so I have tried on stuff like Tumblr and Reddit. I originally ed Amino to read more about creepypasta, but I decided why not a writing community. What made me stay the community was the wonderful and helpful people I have met here

2. What has been the most enjoyable aspect of B&WA so far?

The constructed and positive information you get and how welcoming the people are

3. Are you a reader or writer (or both)? What genres do you like to read/write?

I’m both, I typically write poetry, usually deep but I am trying new things like poems from idioms and limerick Wednesday. My favorite books to read are true crime and educational stuff, but I love a dark fantasy now and then

4. What type of , blogs, activities, or events have you seen so far that inspire you to be active?

The deep poetry and long paragraphs (I struggle to write stories as long as some chapters )

5. Other than books and writing, what’s something you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Helping others and drawing

6. Anything else to add?

So this isn’t as much as for me but for people that doubt themselves. You don’t have to know fancy words or have the best spelling to become a writer. Agatha Christie had dysgraphia and even possible dyslexia. There are great resources you can use to help with spelling.

Dreamer’s First Pick:

E.Heller

This is a beautiful rhyming poem that tells the decades old story of two star-crossed lovers in just 7 stanzas. I fell in love with this piece the first time I read it. While the structure may seem simple, the author has a unique elegance in the way they portray how two people find love again in each era.

Dreamer’s Second Pick:

suz

I’m continually astounded by the effort Suz takes to organize her book reviews and make them look pretty! Not to mention she knocks it out of the park with the quality spoiler-free content and insane amount of stats. If you’re looking for bookish blogs, she’s the one to turn to!

Best Quotes from Authors:

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

-Hellen Keller

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

-Henry David Thoreau

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

-Frederick Douglass

We’re all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.
