Writing residency sounds like a luxury but for some projects, when you're juggling multiple subjects and synthesizing them, it's necessary. It gives the time and space to focus on that one thing, on the million balls in the air one is juggling, to turn into something coherent.

Dear #litmags, please accept forms other than word doc. We all don't have access to word and it messes up the formatting once converted (sometimes)

In the year waiting for my green card, I haven’t been allowed to work & felt w/out agency so I am taking a step for my writing, to complete my microfic collection on everyday life in Iran during war. more info below
When in need of hope, I think about Lady Bird Johnson’s legacy. someone wise pointed out that years after the beautification project, during a protest in DC, those revived spots were the ones spared. I often think about that, about where one expects to find one’s influence; where it actually resides

I am exercising my agency: after a year of waiting for my green card, during which I wasn’t allowed to work, I’ve started a fundraiser to finish my microfic collection on war days in Iran. (See my pinned post for more info). #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky #flashfiction
FlashFlood opens for submissions on 19 April till 25 April. Flashes up to 300 words. Stories will be published on NFFD. Pre 2023 previously published considered. Reserved slots for unpublished writers. For more details see our submission guidelines: flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/p/submission...
This is about agency, about the fact that for a year, I haven’t been allowed to work waiting for green card. This is the one and only step I can take.
Free writing workshop with the amazing @finnwritesstuff.bsky.social
If I wasn't camping that day, I would have registered in a heart beat! #writingcommunity

Please include a note, like: writing gift or birthday gift so I can keep track of the donations.Since I am treating it like a professional residency, the fundraising will be open until May 31st (which is the due date of the residency).
Thank you for reading this and considering supporting my writing career. Any amount is appreciated. To make a donation, you can dm me for paypal info or go to donations on my website: .https://sarvinparviz.com/buy-me-a-cup-of-tea/
Really, all I need is a desk and a room in a new environment, and the time to focus on the collection. It's not a subject I can dip in an out of, since it carries trauma, memory and tragedy.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach me here or via dms.
