Also, I feel like a fraud, in a way. I’m not neurodivergent. I just feel I am taking up space, when someone else could do it better and be a better voice. I am so grateful to everyone who submitted.

I think I might permanently shut down Flamingo Literary and start afresh with a better, more organised Wordpress and open it to all writers, from everywhere, of any age, all genders, neurodivergent, everyone. I am so grateful to everyone who submitted to flamingo lit.

Great to hear about all the Covid-19 related projects being supported by colleagues in @SwanseaMedicine today. Amazing range of projects that will make a great difference to our community.

I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long. This weekend, Issue 2 will launch! I’ve been producing the Issue on my phone (and will try and get my laptop working) to get page numbers in the Issue! 🦩

[Flamingo Literary *on hiatus* @FlamingoLit]

@SpectropolisPIF Congratulations 🥳

[Flamingo Literary *on hiatus* @FlamingoLit]

So I’m working with Issue 2, today. I am updating the bios from those who have said they would like to include one. ☺️

2+ years since we had to unfortunately close down, we still receive submissions. It puts things into perspective. We're grateful, but saddened for not being able to fulfill such expectations.

[Flamingo Literary *on hiatus* @FlamingoLit]

Thank you to everyone who answered about the bios! I’m just waiting for a bit of clarification on what some people want to include! ☺️🦩

[Flamingo Literary *on hiatus* @FlamingoLit]

Issue 2 contributors! We have emailed you! ☺️ Some of you submitted on behalf of children, and I just want to check what bio information (if any) you are happy for us to share. We won’t share anything without checking with you first! 🦩

[Flamingo Literary *on hiatus* @FlamingoLit]

@JGarethNoble Thanks Gareth. ☺️ The work we have had in is BRILLIANT.

[Flamingo Literary *on hiatus* @FlamingoLit]

We’ve just emailed all our lovely artists who are appearing in Issue 2! Some of you submitted bios and titles for your work, others didn’t. We are 💯 happy for you to submit your work without a bio and title (it’s your work, it’s up to you!) we just wanted to check. ☺️ 🦩

[Dr Gareth Noble @JGarethNoble]

If not, then those words are a reflection of who you are and not the person they are directed at.

Be kind to yourself & to others.
3/3

[Dr Gareth Noble @JGarethNoble]

Yes they can but words can also hurt & do harm. What you say & the words you use should be with infused with kindness & consideration. 2/3
