Be Thankful For Your Freedom

By Ali Cross

History is replete with periods during which freedom of expression was a non sequitur. It simply didn't exist. Artists and writers have been imprisoned and killed for their views. It didn't stop them, merely made their need to create all the more important--to them, and to those who would receive.

Today is our day to remember those fallen heroes who have given their lives to prot

ect our freedom. Today marks our right to th

at freedom, and our duty to honor it.

If you have the desire to write, if you feel you have a message to share, it is your duty to do so.

For the sake of those who did not have such freedom, for those who gave their life for yours, for yourself and your own self-respect--write.

Around the Blogck

Once upon a time, a group of new writers got together and started this blog about their struggles, their aspirations, and their quest to become published authors.

Now, the better part of a decade later, we've been around awhile. We've learned far more , done more, and gone farther than we ever imagined we would!

Some joined us, some moved on, some became the published authors they always wanted to be, and some are still in the grind.

This is the record of where we've been, a textbook of what's been learned and a heartfelt memoir of experiences shared. Though the writers have moved on, the archives are here for you to peruse, and hopefully you'll find something in them to help, encourage and uplift.
