Cathartic, to say the least, and heartfelt, Christina.
I appreciate your opening which includes "In articulating what you’ve been avoiding, you begin to inform and affirm a better way." And your support of writers via the paragraph "It is important to me that writers—especially young writers, those who are starting out—know your rights and how to advocate for them. ... Though there may be moments that leave you feeling outnumbered or overpowered, your story is worth telling, your name worth remembering. You have always been writer enough for all of it and so much more.".
Here also via Shirley. While I can understand if someone misses to do an attribution based on the volume of information they collect, it's another matter if you point out the omission to someone and they still don't correct. It's about the intent and what you experienced was unfair and wrong.
"It's about the intent ..." which is what you/Roy and I do talk about quite a bit. Christina, needless to say, I continue to share your essay, not only among creative writers but also among technical writer friends. Here's to new memories in 2025.
I am sorry you had to go through this!
And I love your original thoughts. Very excited for you to start writing here again. <3
Looking forward to doing the WoP cohort & growing together. :)
Thank you for the kind words, Ishita! Looking forward to writing in community.

So sorry about this. Here via Shirley.

This is absolutely unhinged and devastating. I am so sorry, Christina.
Thank you, Ali. Your words mean a lot and I appreciate your support.
