A Big, Beautiful, Growing Directory of Published Work by WITD Writers. An incomplete list of essays, stories, and poems that began with a Writing in the Dark exercise!
Looking at this list made me laugh out loud at some of the titles, and drawn in wistfully at others. Wow... I've been so isolated in my writing. Frankly, kind of lonely. It's like walking into a library for the first time, and realizing you are surrounded by stories and adventures --- all yours to enjoy at your own pace. The difference seems to be that WITD is a two-way street! I'm excited by the potential for growth as a person (in addition to writing), and all the new relationships that may be possible.
This may be pre-caffeinated poem brain, but constellations reveal themselves in time. And I love a tangible list, not to quantify, but to map the wonderful reach of the work and vast experience of your writers.
Yes, and you know what? I actually remember the first drafts of almost every single one of these. Amy Stonestrom’s, no, because I didn’t know about it till she published and said she used the WITD workshopping method! But all the rest of these, I saw those first snippets, just like we do here.

What a beautiful garden you are tending here. I am eager to start picking my own bouquet from all these pieces. Thank you for curating this list.
This is fabulous inspiration
Yay! xo
I've lost info about WITD party online this week. HELP

What a beautiful, fun, inspiring, and energizing comment. Thank you, Flo!
What a list!!! Blown away in the best way. ❤️❤️❤️
And it’s far from complete!
This is surprisingly moving— I feel like I am looking at new constellations in a sky I thought I already knew. Wonderful.
That's beautiful, Emily. I only wish I had a complete list! But this is a decent start.

And that is one of the many reasons we love you!!
