Hello summer! It's 106 degrees in Austin this week, but it feels like 114. The planet's getting hotter, and so are you.
This month at SNS, let's embrace the burn! Write about the hot hot heat, the sun burn, the hot seat, write about about fire, burning up the dance floor or bacon sizzling, write about friction, about the burn of rage, or skidding tires, about the burnt house or the near miss, the smokey orange sky, or better yet, your burning desire. Be the fire.
Sign up to share your poems, stories, songs, dances, or short comedy sketches about the burning at this month's open mic.
