From a Google Doc to other people’s writing days.

Write What’s Still Here started as something I wrote in Google Docs during a season where writing felt far away (and still does) then turned it into a PDF and put it into the world from there. I still don’t entirely know what to call it. A book? A book of prompts? Just prompts? A PDF? It changes depending on the moment I’m trying to describe it in. Maybe it doesn’t need a fixed name to be what it is.

Hearing that it meets someone in a similar place and actually makes a difference means a lot more than I can properly explain:

Through this project I’ve been reminded that writing doesn’t need permission to matter and it doesn’t need traditional publishing, polish, or a system around it for it to reach someone.

This is my small grassroots way of holding onto that truth and reminding anyone else who needs it that writing doesn’t have to be refined, packaged, made legible in a certain way, or edited into something “worthy” before it’s allowed to exist.

If you’re in a place where your writing just needs to exist as it is, WWSH holds it there with you.

Still writing,
