A Response to Kathleen Porter's Washington Post Opinion Piece

I think she almost entirely missed the point of the diversity movement and I am...irritated. Please join me for a walk through some terrible opinions and what YOU can do, as a sensitive, thoughtful writer, to avoid this kind of knee-jerk reaction and keep writing.

Why You Should Write During StoryADay May
Of all the reasons you should join us in attempting to write a StoryADay May the best might possibly be because: don't you want to be the kind of writer who writes? Who writes so much they get good? Who stands a chance of realizing those unreasonable-exciting dreams you're not telling anyone about? Don't you at least deserve to try?
