What are The Desk Drawers guidelines?
We will post one writing exercise per week — some for fun, some for learning the writing craft, and some for learning about yourself or the world around you. To respond, write to that exercise. To stay on the list, you are required to submit at least 3 exercise-related posts per month. You may choose to post 1 submission and 2 critiques or 3 critiques. We prefer a ratio of 2 or more CRITs for each SUB but we realize that you have a life, too. You may choose to post non-exercise work under the XSUB category, but these will not be counted toward list participation. If you post an XSUB, please add a note at the top explaining why you’re posting it. We can help better if we know the purpose of your piece, especially if it’s for a contest or you are targeting a specific market. If it’s from a prompt you found elsewhere, please include the prompt directions.
